Bilis naman ng sagot mo Lord. I Love you po.

Celabrating Steven's 6th Birthday and Mommy Marby's 6th Death Anniversary. This day six years ago, A tear, a single point in the very fabric of time and space. A singularity - the convergence of joy and sorrow, life and loss, in a delicate balance. Time flows differently and peculiar in so many ways. Steven's growth appearing swift and relentless while the memory of my wife's passing remains vivid and near. Intertwined within the very strings of existence the past, the present, and the future. A maelstrom.

Happy Birthday Steven! Ang bilis ng panahon, anim na taon ka na. Noong isang araw tinanong mo ko, “Does my mom see everything I do?, Do you think she’s proud of me?” Hindi agad ako naka imik. Muntik na akong maluha. Yung mga tanong na ganyan ang pinakamahirap sagutin. May kurot sa damdamin, hindi ko rin naman maalis sa kanya na magtanong dahil hindi naman niya naranasan mahagkan ng kanyang Mommy. Ang sabi ko” Steven, your Mommy sees through your eyes, hears through your ears, and feels through your heart. I want you to know that you are every bit of your Mom. You have her kindness, her strength, and her love. She lives on through you in so many ways, and I see her in everything you do.” Dumating yung gift ni Ninang Madel, Ninong Enchong, at Euan na plushie na may mukha ng Mommy nya. Tuwang tuwa si Steven, sabi nya “This is the first time I can literally hug and sleep beside my Mommy Marby.” “You can have my smelly unan and my capybara plushie” sabi nya sa akin sabay abot ng unan at capybara. Steven, ngayon birthday mo, gusto ko malaman mo na mahal na mahal kita at mas higit na mahal ka ni Mommy mo. Wala man sya sa piling natin ngayon pero ramdam ko yun pagmamahal nya sa iyo at alam ko din na sobrang proud siya sa iyo. Ang pagsilang mo ay isang napakalaking blessing sa aming lahat. Ngayon araw na ito ay nais ko din ipagdiwang ang ika-anim na taon ng aking pagiging isang isang ganap na ama. Hindi ako perpekto, marami akong pagkukulang, at pagkakamali, pero pagsisikapan kong maging the best dad para sa iyo. Happy birthday anak. Mahal na mahal ko kayo ni Mommy mo hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan.

Steven graduated from Kinder 2 with high honors and a deportment award! He brought his Mommy Marby plushy so she could be with him on stage. Rev. Msgr. Fr. Pablo S. Legaspi Jr saw the plushy and asked, ‘Oh, you brought your mom. Is she abroad?’ I said, ‘She’s gone.’ He leaned over to Steven and said, ‘Study hard and always do your best and make your mommy proud.’ Later, during the awarding of the deportment medal, Msgr. Pablo said to Steven, ‘Oh, so you’re kind and well-behaved. Your mommy must be so proud.’ 🥹🥲💕

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there who inspire us with their love, strength, and endless sacrifices.

Bang!

Strangers and kids often bring refreshing perspectives and genuine connections. Meet my new friend Marie. I had the realest conversation with this kid today! Nagtago sya sa ilalim ng mesa at humingi ng barya. Normally di ako nagbibigay pero iba aura nitong si Marie. Sabi nya Kuya ipagpapray kita.🥹 Picturan daw nya ako tapos selfie daw kami. Bago ako umalis inaya ko na sya lumabas, kaya lang kasi sya di pinapalabas ng crew dahil nakita nila na nakikipagkwentuhan ako sa kanya. Shout out sa mababait at understanding na crew ni @dunkin_ph
