Father and Son

By Anonymous -


My dad honestly confessed to me that he never carried me when I was still a baby. That is why seeing my husband so fond of my baby and even taught me how to change Aizen's diapers, makes me appreciate his efforts to be a great dad for Ahgi. Not a lot of guys that are willing to goof around to the extent of looking a lot silly and foolish, but he's more than willing to those things for our baby's thrills. A kid at heart...... but a most responsible man.

A Child's Hug
a poem by Salvador Galvez

There are times when life overwhelms us.
We talk and try to resolve our problems.
We seek the All Mighty's Mercy.
From the helpless we ask, they deem us crazy.
We run around in circles to the point of dejavue.
When we finish the round we start over again.
While sitting watching closely, a child wants to be wooed.
We have no time for childish things worry is in our brain.

Gentle tugs we most surely ignore.
While the little one is waiting to adore.
Some times the little tugs free us from our entangled world.
In the huge eyes our worries dissolve into a smile unfurled.

Longingly the child invites to be embraced.
We of instinct respond as though we are giving.
If a child is Heaven sent, then we are not giving but receiving.
It is a child's hug that permeates our soul and thus we are graced.

Nice photos. Well, I am not that fortunate to have my father beside me when I was a new born child :(

But he sees to it to be home whenever I celebrate my birthday.

But he was never there during my high school graduation. God had to take him away from me. I miss my father.

Lucky Aizen :)

You're still luckier than I am Madz. My father weren't there from the day I was born and at any times of my life, except maybe in his thought :D

Though, the difference is, me and my father can still catch up... I think we're catching up already, somehow!

I think I brought out a topic a lot of people could relate to...one way or another. Good or bad experience with our dads, we're here because of them. God is soooo good.

Still without a nanny, I was stuck with Aizen for the whole day and night. No, I'm not complaining but there were times that it will really worn you off. Luckily, my husband was helpful. Before going to his office, he will buy first stuffs and meals for me and letting me finish giving morning baths to our baby. At least, that had lessen my load.

Running for Books, And Also For a New Beginning

“To run or not to run” that is the question ever since my husband came home very late one night with, surprisingly, a paper bag of goodies, or shall I say “freebies”. I knew instantly that it has to do something with his hobby -- running. For quite sometime, my husband kept on talking to our son about running together not realizing that an early age of 2 years, he could already participate, plus, he kept on egging me to participate in one of his races. (FYI, I’m not a sport-buff. Not even trying to exercise. In short, I’m one of those people that fitness instructors would really want to recruit as their career “challenge”). When I said “Okay, we’ll go. Do I have a choice?”, that’s the point where I got curious on what now is the advocacy this run is supporting. Reading the printouts that my husband handed to me, I realized that my sweat could go more than a mile (figuratively). I personally saw a terrible library at our province in Nueva Ecija. And even asked a cousin of mine if she...
