A Birthday Song From Luj + Comfort Woman Resolution Update

My little cousin, Luj, wrote a song for my birthday. He is one of the only people capable of simultaneously making me want to strangle him and give him a big old hug. When you press play, you will understand why.



(For my non-Filipino readers: when Luj refers to me as "Ate Ver," he's assigning me the rightful and respectful title of older sister/cousin)

(And, um, for any readers at all: Fairlawn Ct. is the street where I grew up. My paternal grandparents lived on the same street, so it was quite the family gathering ground)

(And also, Luj will probably be very mad at me for sharing this song, but that's what Mr. "She's-Forty-And-I'm-Not" gets)
