My Anjelica & Adrian. My children.

"Mother’s love is God’s priceless gift to us and what we’ve become is our loving gift to him…"

Today I want to talk about my two wonderful children. I fell in love the moment I found out I am pregnant and I feel deeply in love when they arrived. All the pains during labor, honestly you won’t remember as soon you saw your child.
Umm. It seems like yesterday that my first child came to me and I’ve never been happier in my life until then. I was in labor for 30 minutes. YES! That is true! I worked, go for a long walk, swim every other day and I am telling you baby will just pop out from you. He..he..he.. Of course! You have to feel the pain of labor it is Mandatory… No pain, no labor… I named her "Anjelica Mae" comes from her Papa "Angelino" and me "Mae". She is really an Angel. She cries, smile like an Angel. She brought joy, peace and love to her Papa and me. She taught me a lot and made me the best mother I could me. We both grow together as her Mom and as my Daughter. Never a dull moment with my angel and I couldn’t asked for a better one. Why settle for less when I have the best. I am so proud of her and I am even proud of her now for she is being the best Sister to her Lil Brother " Adrian Marcus".
5 years after I had my Angel, there we welcome the new Angel of our family, "Adrian Marcus." A little bubbly bouncing boy. I preferred calling him "Botchokoy." He is such another Angel from heaven. Those little smiles with chubby fingers, feet, neck and it’s like little snowman because everything in his tiny body is round and plump. (Except with Ilokano color. ha..ha..ha.. Hey I am Ilokano too. I am proud to be 1.)
Anjelica loves her brother the moment we found out I am pregnant and having a boy. I remembered anjelica used my Pusod (Navel) to talked to Adrian, tell him bedtime stories, sing to him, and keeps saying " Adrian, this is Ate." I believed she says it more than 50X/day. And guess what? Adrian’s first word is "Te", couldn’t be true that baby still inside their mother’s womb can hear? I guess it is more effective if you use your "Pusod"(Navel) as your microphone.
The moment this two Angel of mine met, they are inseparable. They say that the success of children might have something to do with their parents. I would say about 95% is true. The remaining 5% is for the children to find out by themselves.
I am so proud of this two. Words are not enough to express how I feel, care and my infinite love for them. I would die for my children. They made me strong. They gave me trust, respect and love that no one in this world had given me. Because of these two children of mine, I lived.

To my Bebe & my Botchokoy,
I love you before and I love you more now. My life will not be complete without you both. You two complete me. Because of you two, I am strong. I thank God for giving you two as my children and I promised you that I will care and love you both until my next life in eternity. This small poem specially made for them:

I cannot always be wise,
I cannot always be healthy,
I cannot always be whatever you want me to be,
But I can always be me,
Your Mother who will love you for who and what you want to be.
And your Friend who will always listen, laugh, cry and play with you whenever you needed one.
IloveyouBebeandBotchokoy…
Love,
Mum
