There are only two reasons I took note of this occassion: 1) because i will always be papa’s little girl and 2) because my brother is now father to Glenn Carlo, a brother whom i could trust Raine’s life with.
But who would have thought…I was actually greeted “happy fathers’ day”?! I was taken aback but the greeter firmly insisted.
Well…I’ve always concentrated on just being mom to Raine, i don’t know what a father exactly do? In the absence of one, I never thought of playing dad to Raine. Or maybe I do, I’m just unaware because I’m just being his mom. Anyhow, I think somebody should assign a national day for single moms!
==================
Weekends are special to me. Good that i don’t get bugged down that often ‘coz I’d rather bond with Raine than nurse a virus-laden me. Time flies. I’d rather grab more of those bonding moments. Raine is not a baby anymore.

He is slowly becoming his own little person that you cannot just ignore. He probably understands our situation more than I give him credit for.

In all fairness, inspite of his kakulitan, kalikutan, and hardheadedness (like most kids I guess!) ; Raine is a generally jolly kid that is not so hard to please. At his young age of two (and a half!) he understands why I have to leave him daily for work and why he can’t come. In all his bantering ways, he is actually a very sweet, loving toddler. (and expressive of affection too!)

He’s probably wondering why he doesn’t have a daddy hanging around. Though he only got to ask me once and probably got convinced with my short answer: that his daddy is somewhere far away; that he shouldn’t think about such thoughts anymore because mommy wasn’t able to do anything to make him stay much less make him come back; and didn’t ask again. At least not just yet. In the mean time, I get all the credit, even father’s day.
