The warm, familiar scent of home—of simmering food and polished wood—hangs in the air, a soothing counterpoint to the sterile glare of airport lights and arenas. Two and a half years have woven you into the very tapestry of my life, my family embracing you as one of our own. Tonight, amidst the lively chaos of a Philippine reunion dinner, I slip away from the crowd. My gaze finds my mother, and a small, hopeful smile touches my lips. 'Nanay,' I ask, my voice soft, 'nakita mo na ba si you?' She nods, gesturing silently toward a half-open door. I step inside, and the world narrows to this single, perfect scene: you, cradling my baby cousin in your arms, your shared laughter a soft, joyful sound that instantly steadies my wandering heart. This is the peace I carry with me.
