I was busy leafing through a pile of what appears to be rubbish but are actually my clothes in my closet to look for something to wear for today. For several days now I’ve been wearing skirts to the office. Not for any other reason other than I’m trying to save my slacks for the training our office will be holding next week. It’s a four-day course and I don’t want to spend the weekend before it, seeing to the laundry. I’d rather devote it in paying attention to the other details for the training.
I was mulling my choices when I heard Bolo’s voice from the other room. In very earnest tones he told me, “Nay, huwag ka talagang magpula ngayon. Huwag na huwag.” (Nay, don’t wear red today. Simply don’t). It wasn’t the words that threw me but the earnestness I heard in his voice. From the sound of it, he was dead serious about it which makes it the more funny. I’m not sure whether he’s referring to the fact that I’ll be joining a thousand others outside should I decide to wear red or he’s “warning” me about being mistaken as someone “still-in-search.”
Still in search, indeed! =) These days my heart is filled with gratitude every time Baby would seek me out and sit in my lap to render me yet again another of his nursery rhymes medley. In broken tones and broken-words hehe would serenade me starting with ABC, to eensy-weensy spider, to Babah, Black, sheep…And I would sit there feeling as if my heart is soaring and twinkling along with the stars he is singing about =)
These days it’s a common scene in the house to have Bolo or me turning to Baby and kissing or hugging him for the sheer joy he is giving us. In search huh? Nope, while sometimes it may not appear to be so? But I believe I have just found my home in my son. He’s the one who taught me the depth of the love I could ever feel and give… I love you Baby “Wod Lowen Abeiya Bolo” =)
Happy Heart’s Day Everyone! Take this day (and everyday hereafter) as an opportunity to sow, give, show your love to the persons that matter in your life. (And if I may add, to one’s country as well.)
