A Chinese resto In Makati
Is full of memories for me.
Part II of Pathway of my Anxiety
When Julie worked in Singapore for Unilever we would visit her everytime we had a break from our own independence because
I loved living In Singapore. Everything was so orderly. And peaceful. So how could I have felt anxiety?
FAST FORWARD! Now that I am 80 I have lost my independence because I am wheelchair driven and cared for by three caregivers.
I am now anxious when Emil leaves the condo.
MY GOODNESS!

Part 1 Pathway of My Anxiety
Julie has been living away from us since her college years. she would call our landline every other day if not daily.
I was still young enough to deal with the separation.
Julie was sent to Australia for a special training. She would use me as her alarm clock. I had to call her daily.
Emil was horrified with our PLDT bills. So I was sent to join Julie. But this did not last I had to be a wife and not only a mother to Julie.
When Emil was with USAID he had to fly to Naga on weekends every month till it was rainy season.
I wasn’y fazed with reports of near plane disasters.
Emil went to Indonesia with Dr Jeanne etc to deliver papers. I had no caregivers then. But I survived.
