Happy baby


Today, Heaven is nine months old. Another quarter to go and we will be celebrating his first birthday.

Last Friday, he went for his monthly check up. His pediatrician, Dra. Mian Silvestre, noted how happy Heaven as a child is. He is always ready with a smile, his eyes twinkling, his dimples captivating.

We heard mass today. Heaven was his usual happy self, smiling at other mass goers, playing peek-a-boo with a kind woman behind us. After the mass, children --- babies and teens alike rushed to meet the priest. The priest laid his hand on each child, giving his blessings.

I carried Heaven and greeted the priest. I did not see it but Heaven was apparently all smiles that the priest spent a few more seconds longer with Heaven. He said: “Bless you, my little angel.”

Indeed, Heaven is an angel to all of us. Indeed, we are blessed. Our constant prayer is for Heaven to grow up a happy person.
