Before, it has always been Nicholas and Me… Baby and Mommy… You and I… Just the two of us…

From pregnancy to his birth, I have been alone in taking care of Nicholas. I have been his Mom and
Dad when he was first month old. It was the same case when he turned two months… then again and again, every month, Nicholas saw me as his only parent — his Mama and Papa.

I admit I wanted him to think that way. I wanted him to realize that though it is painful, the truth is, I am his only parent. Yes, his grandparents love him. My sisters and relatives love him as well. But they have lives of their  own. They have families of their own. Nicholas only have me as his family. I thought it would be better for him to think that his family will always comprise of him and me because it is very difficult to find someone to
complete it.

Then I met Mark.

All of a sudden my craving for a complete family came flashing like a bolt of lightning. I thought being alone in taking care of Nicholas is just fine. I thought I don’t need a man. I thought Nicholas doesn’t need a father. All these thoughts vanished when I saw how beautiful it is to have a complete family with Mark. My heart and mind took a sudden switch when I met the most responsible, hard-working, generous, loving, and caring father for my Nicholas — the sincerest, most passionate, honest, affectionate, devoted and faithful partner for me.

My little baby deserves a good and loving family — a mother, a father and siblings. I have no doubt that
I will do all I can to be the best mother to my son. But I know it won’t be enough. Nicholas needs a father figure to guide him in the world of boys and men — someone with a good soul to teach him how to become a man who knows how to treat a woman and how to become a better man, someone who will walk hand in
hand with me in our journey to a harmonious and happy family life.

I’m so blessed I found Mark… or was it him who found me? Well, whichever is which, the truth is, the reason we met is Nicholas and we’re building a future together now for Nicholas. Finally, the agony of waiting is over… thank God, at last, a family for me and my baby…
