Our Little Nicholas

I feel like a star! Gramps and Granny love me so much they can’t stop showering their love on me, hihihi!

So what do you think about my cool pictures? Isn’t it obvious that I’m my Grandparent’s favorite now? Hihihi! I don’t know, maybe because I am the newest addition in the family? Or maybe because I am the youngest member of the family? Or is it because I have the same birthday with Grandpa? Hmmmm… I know! It’s plain and simple! It’s because I’m so cute and handsome! Hihihi! Mom says so, so don’t go against the last statement ok?

Ahhh… I love my grandparents as much as they love me. I sure am lucky to have them!

Little Nicholas’ Gramps and Granny invaded the town!

What a pleasant Monday it turned out to be! I wasn’t really expecting them to come here and pay me a visit. Little Nicholas was so happy he kept on moving and moving, boasting his great energy to his grandparents!

My Mama, Papa, sister Jenny and her husband Glenn, traveled 4 and a half hours from Davao City to Cagayan de Oro City just to see to my condition. Yesterday was a non-working holiday so they we’re able to come.

I missed my family so much that I really don’t know how to make of the visit. And there’s Dad too, we‘ve got issues, so it was thinking it won’t be easy to see them again.

But upon seeing Mama’s smiling face, my heart jumped up and I hurried to her to give her a big hug. I felt the pleasure in my Mama’ voice when she started to talk. Papa was a little quiet but I can feel him longing to give me a hug as well. I broke his silence and gave him a warm embrace. I was so happy!

We just had breakfast and then Papa wanted to see my place so we came here and chatted for hours until lunchtime. We had our lunch in a mall and we talked about our lives, catching up on each other.

It was not until they’re about to go home in the afternoon that Mama dropped the bad news. It seems they came earlier coz’ they can’t be here starting the 8^th of December. I was told of the reason and it’s indeed a valid reason. I mustn’t compete with God, my parents have duties and obligations in the church. Meaning, if I give birth next week and not this week, my family won’t be with me.

I almost cried, but I just gave them a smile… a smile that struggles between the tears. It’s one thing that I have to accept. At least they came and I saw them for a few hours, right? I am happy… still… there’s a hollow space in my heart that just makes it hard to breathe.
