The house in the outskirts of Tagaytay is one of the few things left behind by my late MIL. She furnished the house a couple of years before she succumb to cancer. She was the ultimate homemaker despite keeping her own corporate job. She's had her fair share of bad relationships with house helpers but her homes were always immaculate.

Whenever we visit the house, which wasn't often, I'd tell my children that everything they see in that house was Mommy's. You see her taste in style and furnishings in the things around this house.
