It’s the first day of October! It’s Abbie’s 2nd birthday! I now have a “terrible two” – my darling abbietot! As a mom, i find this day a lot more special than my own birthday. I think that makes sense for all moms out there... it’s just that giving is essentially greater than receiving! I am grateful for receiving the opportunity to live but I am deeply and most grateful for the opportunity to give life to another. I actually find it challenging to express how I truly appreciate my being a mom to abbie. But more or less this is how I feel right now. Amidst the crisis that most of the Filipino families are going through right now because of the aftermath of typhoon Ondoy, we decided to celebrate abbie’s birthday in a special way. Yes, bil and i decided to splurge a bit... but with a cause! We have invited a lot of kids to join abbie this coming Saturday. We will give them food, gifts, prizes and lots of fun and excitement! As a mom, i just can’t let abbie’s birthday pass without a celebration! Life indeed offers a lot of reasons to celebrate! For all the joys she has brought to our life, she so deserves the best! I will be writing my birthday wish for abbie for her second birthday! I am so amazed day by day as i watch her grow and develop.
All is set and planned. I pray for a good weather so the children can freely play and Have fun!
I said a special prayer for abbie! As i recall my experiences 2 years ago, I can’t help but become a little teary and sentimental. What i went through is really intense and I thank God I had the courage to go through it all. But looking back, i would have not wanted it any other way. I am a proud mom of a super kulit, wonderful little girl who keeps telling me “mommy love you”, and who embraces me tightly and kisses me! My little abbietot is so sweet and adorable!
