i miss you big time baby. mommy is here in cebu for a week. i get to go back home on the weekend and then i head back to cebu next week. i miss you soooooooooooo much baby. =(
Early this morning, past 3 am, my husband and i got home from the office. He had to leave early since he's not feeling well and I on the other hand am on the mid-shift so I finished around half past one am.
My son, woke up to the sound of the car when hubby was parking it. Went back to sleep shortly. Since the dogs knew we got home they were ecstatic and Coffee woke him again with his tail's ecstatic wagging. She - Coffee - doesn't seem to mind where she bangs her tail. Not that she hit my son with her tail but she pretty much banged it on all the structures in my mom's room - the bed post, the hamper and everything else. Thus, waking up the little boy again and causing him to cry.
I immediately rushed to Nathan, to pick him up and reassure him that it's just Coffee and that I'll be there till he gets back to sleep. I told his nanny to bring all his stuff to our room and that the little boy will be sleeping beside us. He got past the sleepy state and perhaps he thought it was already morning that he wanted to play with me and his dad.
Hubby left us in the room when the little boy was starting to get
sleepy again. He ate his "baon" and went to the shower. I was then
singing lullabies to the little boy. After a few minutes thinking that
he is already asleep, I paused and was then about to check if he's
already asleep. I was lying on my right side facing my son, who was
then lying on his left side facing me. His head was on my right
shoulder. While I was about to check on him to find out if he's already
asleep, he surprised me by clapping his hands. 
I was really surprised and amazed. I was laughing with him when he
looked up to me and smiled and eventually laughed. But then after a
really short while, my laughter gave way to tears. Tears of
unexplainable happiness that I could not contain. I guess moms live for
these moments. I hugged my son real tight and told him I love him no
matter what. I sealed that moment with a kiss on his forehead and both
fell asleep.
Dear son,
This is something I've long wanted to do. Forgive me because procrastination always gets the better of me every time. Time and time again I'd have all the words all over my head. I’d string them like an intricate necklace, creating a beautiful garland of memories of the beautiful child that you are. Memories I will be fond to look back to when my skies are overcast with nimbus clouds and just before the light in me go out. But it is never too late to capture those beautiful moments into words. I do this to remind me of the wonderful gift the Lord presented me with, with your coming into my life. But even more, I do this to let you know just how special you are, how beautiful and how loved. Because when you grow up, there will be days when you will doubt all that, but never let anybody or anything tell you otherwise. God has imprinted you with His signature and you are special and loved and beautiful just as you are.
With all my heart,
Mommy
