“Mas madalas pa ako sa playground ngayong matanda na ako kesa nung bata ako.”
Although hindi nagkulang ang nanay at tatay ko, kasi every weekend kahit hindi madami ang pera namin, my parents—especially my dad—made sure na may bonding kami. Kakain sa labas, magpi-picnic sa circle, o magluluto siya ng kung ano-ano sa bahay. Kahit simple lang ang buhay namin, feeling ko ang yaman-yaman ko.
Ngayon ko mas naiintindihan… hindi pala nasusukat sa pera ang pagiging mayaman. Nasa oras, sa effort, at sa pagmamahal na binibigay ng pamilya.
Kaya siguro ngayon, habang tinutulak ko ang anak ko sa swing, habang pinapanood ko siyang tumawa sa playground—dito ko nabubuo ulit yung mga alaala na minsan ibinigay lang din sa’kin.
At ngayon, ako naman… ang gumagawa ng “yaman” para sa kanya. ✨💖
