Today I am taking the time to reflect on good friends who have also became a close second family to me here in Illinois. I'm referring to Rizz's cousins Ren-Ren and Jiji. They have come and gone recently leaving us and the rest of America in order to continue their 2-year academic studies abroad in the Philippines. For the time that Ren-Ren and Jiji  spent here (from September 2011 till June 2012), they made a huge difference to us! The ladies were always willing to help us in any way possible whether its helping out in home-related duties or work-related errands. They even gave me encouragement and the wonderful advice I needed when things in life were difficult sometimes. Through all they do in their daily lives, there is always that sense of enthusiasm, excitement and humor that carried along. And at work, they go the extra mile in getting tasks done accordingly with efficiency and accuracy. Ren-Ren and Jiji get their inspiration from divine inspiration (attending church for a whole day in a weekend) and being close-knit to their family including their loving parents. It's always a pleasure for them to come over to our home and have dinner with us having wonderful, casual conversations about life and such ... On a related note, their father is due for a return to America in a few months from now. And I just forgot to mention that the ladies have a brother named Sam. He is still here in Ilinois. Rizz and myself will continue our strong, cohesive relationship with him since he will be the only one in their immediate family staying in America for the most part ... I'm not exactly sure what will happen when next year comes, but I know that it's for sure we will all meet again somehow. God is gonna work a way to make that happen. For now, may He bless all of us as we go about our agendas in life. A reunion looms ahead.
