This is not Maria Theressa’s (Motet) first day in school nor his first school. She spent one year at San Juanico Day Care Center for her Nursery, a mini-school beside St. John Parish Church near St. Paul. We chose the school before due to Motet’s health concerns, she is under medication for Asthma. She might be missing lots of classes in St. Paul if she stays there and that is going to be costly. True enough, she did miss lots of classes in San Juanico, but despite those absences, Motet enjoyed her stay at San Juanico, every minute of it, she got couple of awards during the recognition, surely not for being punctual and perfect attendance.
The asthma is still there, but even if it stays, my asthmatic angel will be taking classes at St. Paul beginning this year. One, she wanted to be with her ate and kuya, she was so considerate and understanding despite being the youngest, she never insisted to be at St. Paul. Two, I insisted she transfer at St. Paul, when I opened the idea last month that she’s going to be enrolled at St. Paul, her eyes lit up and she smiled. She wanted to be with her ate and kuya long time ago, but she knows Tatay can’t afford to do so. I still can’t now, but love always finds a way.
Motet is the sweetest of my three angels. Maybe because it’s in her age and maybe because I wasn’t there when Angel and Xavier were of Motet’s age now. Her elder brother and sister have grown up too fast and the basic element of sweetness seemed to fade from them. At least in my eyes but others might see them completely otherwise. But then again maybe I wasn’t just there in their time.
She was in school today. I never had the chance to bring her to school or fetch her home. I know she would love to but she always understands. Today is one of those days where parents get really excited for their children; this is one of those days that I always practically miss all year since they started going to school. I’ll make bawi na lang next time.
