Our World Named Kate Arianna

Whenever you feel discouraged,
just remember that you are the center
of the universe to a tiny human you
made from scratch. 🫶

Tagal naman matapos ng duty time ni mommy & daddy. 🥹🤣

Mommy, pasensya ka na kung hindi ka makatulog dahil gusto kong dumede ng maraming beses sa gabi. Paglaki ko, makakatulog ka na ng mahaba dahil hindi ko na kailangan marinig ang tibok ng puso mo at malanghap ang amoy mo para makatulog ako ng mahimbing;

Mama, pasensya ka na kung gusto ko laging hawak ang mga kamay mo kapag naglalakad tayo. Paglaki ko, makakapunta ka na kahit saan mo gusto dahil hindi ko na kailangan ang init ng mga kamay mo para lumakas ang loob ko sa bawat hakbang ng aking mga paa;

Inay, pasensya ka na kung umiiyak ako sa tuwing umaalis ka o kinakarga ako ng ibang tao. Paglaki ko, hindi mo na siguro ako madalas makikitang umiyak dahil hindi na kasing lakas ng dati ang mga bisig mo na kayang buhatin ang lahat ng bigat na nararamdaman ko;

Nanay, pasensya ka na kung wala ka ng oras para sa ibang bagay dahil kailangan mo akong bantayan. Paglaki ko, marami ka ng oras gawin lahat ng gusto mo dahil kailangan kong maglaan ng oras para sa ibang tao na magiging parte ng buhay ko.

Mommy, Mama, Inay, Nanay: napakabilis ng panahon.

Yung dating sanggol na ayaw magpalapag, batang ayaw bumitaw, anak na ayaw sumama sa iba, pagdating ng panahon, magiging mas malaki pa sila sa atin, at sasabihin nila na, “Kaya ko na po mag-isa”. Kaya habang bata pa sila ibigay na natin ang lahat ng atensyon, oras, pangaral at kalinga na kailangan nila sa atin. Para pagdating ng panahon, magiging panatag ang loob natin na kahit kaya na nila mag-isa, kasa-kasama pa rin nila tayo sa puso’t isip nila dahil napalaki natin sila ng maayos at naibigay natin ang lahat ng makakaya natin para sa kanila. ❤️

“Start off children on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Prov.22:6

Good morning po. Please heart react & share yung mismong picture. Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

My firstborn,

It was you that made me a mother.

It was you that stopped me in my tracks and paved new ones for me.

It was you that reduced me to the rubble of myself, and then built me back up stronger.

It was you that gave me so many reasons, but also reasons for criticizing my body, for loving what it gave me, for being comfortable in my own skin.

It was you who first turned the nights into weeks, and the years into days.

It was you that filled me with a type of gratitude I’d never known, each breath you took filled my lungs, each step you took was our journey together.

It was you that introduced me to so many firsts, to a different type of love, heart ache, and to me.

It was you that gave me a kind of confidence I never knew I had within, a whisper turned roar, an exercised patience, a worry that will live in my heart forever.

It was you who unearthed me, things tucked away, no longer buried, it was you who cracked me open.

It was you that showed me a different view of the world, decisions, memories, dreams, are all shaped with you.

It was you I held as I cried in the early months, deep in the trenches, lonely but in the best company.

Tired but never more alive.
It was you that got me through.
You’re much older now.

But I’ll always remember us in the quiet of the weekdays, where we did nothing, and everything.

Our chapter.

How it was you, who made me a mother....❤
