October 22, 2018, now you are Thirteen.
My little girl is little no more as clearly seen.
Those eyes long seeking to be independent
Have taken in much and become resplendent.
You had your wishes, Mommy had to go to Manila
To attend to the ailing me, your lola and your tita.
How it went for you, at first: a happy Peace and Quiet!
Then absence prolonged as we could not go home yet.
You missed Mommy, you considered the light of the home!
During operation you felt the anxiety of being left so alone.
The comfort of your kuya Migara and another present tita,
Carried you through as you focused on school work at Jagna.
As parents, we strive as much to always be by your side.
But the opportune times come that we must stand aside.
