Thankful.

Today, I realized that I am more than thankful. I realized that I am lucky. Well, there are things that I am not lucky about but when it comes to my son, I can say that he is pretty lucky. And for that, I am very thankful.

See, today, I realized just how many people want him in their lives. He’s only three years old but he has been bringing a lot of smiles to people. And he has made me feel really proud in more ways than one. With that, I feel really blessed and I thank Him for giving this wonderful boy to me.

From orgmates to friends to former colleagues and to everybody else in between, everybody is willing to spend time with my son. My cousins love taking him out and spending time with him. Family friends just bring him with them on short errands and trips. My colleagues would ask for him or about him. I could leave him with them and be at peace knowing that they’re going to take good care of him. Orgmates and friends back in college ask how he is. My friends take him out to the mall. And today, my friend, his sister, and their father took my son out after church. Aside from them, there’s of course my family who has been giving much of their love and caring for my son without me asking them to.

With that, I am pretty thankful. And that is why I believe my son is lucky. He may not have a father around but he’ll always have lots of ‘fathers’ (and more mothers too) around him who’d be more than willing to guide him. They’ll be better fathers even. Now let’s stop at this because the whole father thing is yet another story (which I am not in the mood to talk about).

To you guys, thank you so much. You do not know how happy I am. *hugs*
