This is such a horrible night, I know he knows what I am going through. I've seen him go in and out of the room a couple of times, but I tried to ignore his presence. I don't want him to see how weak I am in times like these when I have always taught him to be strong. But he just couldn't  help it. He stood in front of me, kissed my forehead and hugged me so tight. I bursted into tears, cried so hard and wept as if there's no tomorrow. He whispered into my ear, " Yaw lang cry Ma, ma Sad man ko" ("Please don't cry Mom, ill be sad") I could not believe my four-year old child comforting me in this state when someone else should have done the job. I know everything's gonna be all right. My son never left my side. He went to sleep when he no longer saw me crying. I know I need to cherish this blessing. To hell to those who have given me more sadness than happiness. Inyo nalang na inyong kalipay.
