RANTING AND BEYOND

I want to take this time to greet the only one man in my life who makes me happy everyday. Happy Fathers’ Day Papa. I won’t stop saying thank you and I love you…those are phrases that will keep coming out of my mouth until my last breath.

I have accepted defeat, Jaiden loves you more than he loves me, that is because you love him more than anything and anyone in this world. It goes the same for our Maya. She will look up to you as her hero. The brattinela’s princess will be a certified Papa’s girl.

We love you Papa!

P.S.

Happy Fathers’ Day also to my Dad and to my Father-in-Law, to my brother Nino, and to my brother-in-law Kuya Elmer who after 10 long years will now be celebrating his first Fathers’ Day!

To all my daddy friends….you know who you are….be proud, fathers are just as important as mothers.

“She wakes up in the morning with a smile and a head full of bushy hair.
Her daddy says “Don’t worry princess, I’ll always be there”
When she cries, she will be swept up into arms so tender and strong.
When mommy’s at work, daddy will say “Hush baby, Mommy won’t be long”
He’ll be there for every bump and scratch, and hurt with her just the same.
He’ll say, “My sweet Maya, how I love your name”
In her daddy’s eyes she is the reason for living, and she is his world.
Even when she grows up and has a life of her own, she will always be daddy’s lil’ girl.”

I thank God for the gift of motherhood. Finally I have my own princess. Ross wished that a baby girl would come after Jaiden and now here she is. Im sure she’ll have a smile as sweet as Monalisa’s.

Im finally at peace with myself. Rekindle the good memories of the past and use the bad memories as lessons for the future. I cannot stay immobile for too long. I have to move forward. Stop craving for things I can’t have but make use of the things at hand. Love my family for they know me by heart. If everybody leaves me, it will be my family who will stand by me through thick and thin. In this world you have to do what’s right, even if righteousness will not make you happy today, it will in the days to come. Thank God for tomorrow.

“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart… and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away”

“I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back.
But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”
