How They Have Grown

When I first held Kay, she was so tiny, she was just the length of my lap, and I was like holding her both with my hands and arms. She was like an angel.

And when Daryl came, he weighs like a one-month old baby already. But also a little angel. He sucks just putting a finger on his chin.

Now, look how they have grown! They're bigger, and becoming more witty and amusing as the days go by...



with the cats...







The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears. - Francis Bacon

  4. There's a a lot of song that best describes a parent's feeling for his child. I myself liked this particularly:

    "I wish I could"
    (Collin Raye)

    Looking out my window
    and see you playing in the leaves
    It's amazing how a little girl
    Means all the world to me
    When i tell you that i love you
    I love you more than words can say

    Smile, say cheese pretty-please
    I wanna take your picture
    How'd you ever get so big
    I gotta take your picture
    Hold on to the memory before the whole thing slips away

    I wish i could save these moments
    And put 'em in a jar
    I wish i could stop the world from turning
    Keep things just the way they are
    I wish i could shelter you from everything
    Not pure and sweet and good
    I know i can't, i know i can't
    But i wish i could

    When you kiss me for no reason
    It goes straight to my heart
    When i feel your arms around me
    I almost fall apart
    It's time for bed you whisper
    Daddy, we forgot to pray

    I wish i could save these moments
    And put 'em in a jar
    I wish i could stop the world from turning
    Keep things just the way they are
    I wish i could shelter you from everything
    Not pure and sweet and good
    I know i can't, i know i can't
    But i wish i could

    And when i watch you sleeping
    All my worries fade away
    A little bit of heaven glows on your angelic face

    I wish i could save these moments
    And put 'em in a jar
    I wish i could stop the world from turning
    Keep things just the way they are
    I wish i could shelter you from everything
    Not pure and sweet and good
    I know i can't, i know i can't
    I know i can't
    But i wish i could

  5. oo nga, jane. di na sila babies, pero babies pa rin sa puso ko he he salamat sa iyong tinuran, such a flattery.. :-)

    mismo! ann. it is a wonder talaga.

    'nga, e, mmy-lei. dalaga na nga at binatilyo na.

  6. Better make the most out of these few years with them. Because pretty soon they'll finish school and strike out on their own, then you'll go through the dreaded 'empty nest' syndrome. Hope this comment didn't scare you, but that is the reality. They can't be your babies forever.

  7. sabi nga ni Kahlil Gibran, single:

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts.
    For they have their own thoughts.
    You may house their bodies but not their souls.
    For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which
    you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

  8. They grow up before our eyes and yet sometimes it's hard to fathom how they once grew inside our bellies. I still have an eight-year old and I'm really trying to remember through him how his brothers were at that age.
