PASUKAN NA NAMAN


Parehong first timer ang dalawang anak ko sa kanilang mga respective universities. My eldest is a transferee and my youngest is a first year student. But more than anybody else, I am more excited to enroll than them. Super dami na pala ng pagbabago sa FEU. High tech na ang entrance – ID’s are swiped. Nikon took the entrance exam on a personal computer. Wow… parang gusto ko ulit maging estudyante ! Walang ganito during my college days in PSBA.
After accompanying Nikon to his respective examination room, we proceeded to MCU Caloocan for Niki. She submitted the requirements and took the entrance exam. “Ma, wag mo akong iiwan ha. “ “will I pass the exam?” As we held hands, I can feel her sweating. Suddenly… nag flashback sa akin when I brought her to school when she was 3. She don’t want me to leave her and we hold hands. Ah… this is the same scenario but this time she is already sixteen.
Having a son and a daughter differed distinctively. My son always wanted to be left alone. Nahihiya siya pag nilalambing ko siya in front of his barkada. Pag tutulungan mo siya sa isang bagay, he will always say “ ako na lang po !” Maybe because he wanted to be a real man. But my daughter always calls me to the rescue. Every move…”mama !”
But you know… I savor every bonding I share with my 2 kids Nikon and Niki. Kahit may congenital heart disease ako ( may butas ang puso ko), every moment I shared with them are treasured and confined here in my heart. Dito, kahit may butas ang puso ko… hindi nawawala ang magagandang ala ala ng dalawang anak ko. They are kept here in my heart. Mahal na mahal ko ang mga anak ko !!! I may not be a perfect mom, but I have an almost perfect NIKON and NIKI. They are among my best gift from our GRACIOUS FATHER !!!
O, PASUKAN NA NGA, mga mommies… brace yourselves sa sangkaterbang gastusin, nakaka tense pero masayang umaga…Basta bear in mind… nandito tayo para sa mga anak natin…nakasunod, naka alalay, laging nagpapastol !!! dahil sa relasyong magulang at anak…tayo ang tagapag pastol.
