There are things a small baby can do to you that can only be described by cliches like “Motherhood changes you for the better.” or “Being a parent is the best thing in the world.” or “Life will never be the same again after having a child.”
I wish there were better adjectives in the english language that could define the surreal feeling of carrying a two year old boy in my arms.
Now, everything that doesn’t concern his future is a non-issue. What is happening to me? Have I become a stalker of my own son? Is this normal?
If I were still a 22 year old yuppie right now, I’d say, “Ewe!” after sipping on a warm cup of Starbucks coffee. But that was ages ago. In a world where only I and my worldly hopes and dreams exist.
Aaaargh! I’m sorry. I can’t quite explain myself and how I feel. Enough for now. First, let me find the words.
And uh by the way, happy birthday son. Thank you for making me sound like a confused vocabulary-challenged person. Mwaaah!

happy birthday, baby nobe. ok lang yan at sya ang nanay mo. hayaan mo at pagtanda nya eh pwede mong paampon sya sa nursing home.
anyway, bakit nga ako tuwing may sakit ang mga anak ko eh sobrang nerbyos ko at minsan napapaiyak.
pag malungkot sila, malungkot din ako. pag masaya eh masaya rin ako. pag tinitibi eh…well u got the point.

I agree. there really is nothing that could describe the feeling of merely being with your child. And it stays even when he is old enough not to want you by his side…and we are quite lucky, don’t you think?

We are! My goodness, being a mother is such a blessing!

what a great way to [un]express your feelings on parenthood!
I especially love this one: “If I were still a 22 year old yuppie right now, I’d say, “Ewe!” after sipping on a warm cup of Starbucks coffee. But that was ages ago. In a world where only I and my worldly hopes and dreams exist.” very true! how our priorities change with the passage of time!
