Today was the last day of our li'l girl in her kindergarten. Our family will be going for a holiday for 2 weeks and by the time we come back, it's already going to be her Recognition day in school. And then, we travel again to Philippines and finally to Thailand.
So, she was telling us that she said already good bye to all her classmates and told them that she's " going to her own country". When she said, ".... my own country", I was very proud that Tricia really considers herself to be a Filipino since she was born there. Then, to confirm my thoughts and to let my Hubby hear that our li'l girl is proud to be Pinoy :), I asked, " Where's your own Country?". I was surprised with her reply when she said, " Thailand! Thailand is our home, right?". Hahahah!! Tsk..tsk..tsk.. and I thought she meant the Philippines is her own country. But nevertheless, I'm still glad that she understands that Thailand is our HOME even if we are not born there nor have Thai citizenship, but it's the country which we are called to serve. I'm just proud of my li'l girl.
