MY LIFE entirely changed when I gave birth to my eldest daughter Bea. My life felt complete and she was my absolute joy. And I have no plans of getting pregnant the second time around. But when Bea turned six, she started wishing to have a baby brother. Every day she goes to the chapel and asked for a baby brother which convinced me to have another baby but it was too complicated due to my health.
Months had passed and with all the means, our wish was still not granted! I almost accepted that I cannot grant my Bea’s dream but God was good and that after three years, I became pregnant and that made my life more complete!
In the past, when I am sick I don’t tell anyone because if it’s my time, then it’s really my time. But now that I have my son in my arms, I wanted so much to be immortal and live forever life. I am afraid to sleep because I might not wake up the following day. But Macoy hugs me tight before we sleep and promises me that I will see him first when I open my eyes.
In the past, I hated Christmas songs and wanted to hide when I hear those. My childhood days were lonely and Christmas Eve was my greatest fear. And so I refused to attend Christmas parties and I was not used wrapping gifts. But Macoy sings me Christmas songs although I often ask him not to. He gives me letters consistently and teaches me how to wrap gifts. My only son cured my fear – then, I have realized the beauty of Christmas.
My son, my present life is beautiful because of you. For next to God, you gave me a new meaning and a new color to my life.
