Heaven is waiting

It was a toss up between the sky and the heaven.

On April 18, my wife, Aires, and I had one full day with our gynecologist and immunologist. We first went for our ultrasound. We were very anxious to know if our firstborn will be a boy or a girl.

Our doctor exclaimed: “May lawit!” (Something’s dangling). Our baby’s a boy. We will christen him, Heaven Czar.

He is truly a gift from heaven. Czar is to honor, Aires’ father, Cesar, whom we all believe interceded for us when he went to meet our Maker about 10 weeks before we learned that Aires was finally pregnant.

Were she a girl, she will be named Skye Czarina. But for now, Heaven Czar sounds really fine.
Our trip to our immunologist also brought pleasant news. Aires’ immune system was in check. Her numbers read A-ok.

This Sunday, we heard a solemn mass at Christ the King church. In the Gospel, Jesus said to his apostles: I am the way, the truth and the life. In his homily, the priest said that “Heaven is waiting for all of us.” Christ the King. Heaven. The signs are there telling us that we made the right choice.

Welcome, Heaven Czar.
