hiatus...

wow.  7 years.  my last post was 7 years ago.

Ramon was 15 y/o, going through a deep depression.  never-ending meltdowns that i thought will never end. almost daily summons to school to get him for being disruptive.  one of the toughest periods in our lives.  i thought things will never be better for him.

7 years later, he's now in college, attending a community school, and hoping to transfer to a university.  my Ramon has hurdled a lot of challenges in his young life but he still has a long way to go.  he still has so much to learn, so much to overcome.

i sometimes feel inadequate as a mother, feeling like i'm failing him, and still second guessing my parenting skills.  i guess i will always feel this way.  it is so hard being a parent.

7 years ago, Hillary lost the primary to Obama, which was really a bummer.  she should have won.  she would have been a better president, in my opinion, if i may stress that out.  i know there are a lot of haters out there, but i love Hillary Clinton!  i believed in her then and i still believe in her now.

7 years later, lots of buzz of her running in 2016.  i hope she does.  i supported her then, and will support her again.  but lots of challenges ahead.  her haters are in overdrive.  i hope she and Chelsea won't fuel the fire, and be more careful in choosing their words especially when talking about debts, finances, etc...  that comment from Chelsea just made me cringed.  she sounded out of touch, which i know she's not.  so...  just be careful.
