you are still too young to read this now. i just started my blog and yes, starting to write of things, well, almost everything that i fancy, hold dear and anything that just struck me --good or bad. since i made the commitment to let go of my fears, talk (or write, since it is my passion) and share myself, it wouldn't be complete if i didn't take the time to say a few lines to you.
your coming was a bittersweet moment for me. more sweet than bitter, of course. it's just that your coming underlined the fact that someone was gone and wouldn't be there to welcome you. but, i was oh so glad that in return, before she left, you were given to us. a gift. so tiny...and chinky-eyed. :)
if you weren't there, the passing of time would have been much slower, painful and unbearable. with the help of the people who matter--and you, when you arrived--i felt the hands of time slowly starting to move again. through you, we retraced our steps when we were once young and so energetic. the house is full of laughter again...and you brought so much happiness to your lolo max. i shared to my friends and colleagues almost every antic that you learned as you grew. naturally, i felt sad during those times when i had to correct you. i feared that you would grow spoiled if you were given free rein, you know. i was so proud every time you exhibited signs of an intelligent, inquiring mind. as if i had something to do about it. maybe like most moms or relatives feel, i felt that you were another einstein, a genius-waiting-to-be-discovered...and i still do. i can just imagine how your mom and dad feels.
you still have a long journey ahead of you. and i'm glad to be in most aspects of that journey.
