Last Thursday while on the phone with my mom...
Mama: O, how was the makeover?
Me: Uhmmm, ayos naman! ;)
Ald (screaming in the background): Ma! Ma! Si Ate Ches, nagpakulay!
Mama: Ano? Kinulayan ka?
Me: Hahaha, wala yun!
Ald (screams again): AT MAY BANGS!
Mama: Huh?
Me: Basta! Basta! Wala lang kaya! :P
And so I dreaded Friday's coming as I would have to go to Dagupan for the weekend. Everyone who saw my hair come Math time kept asking, "Alam na ba 'yan ng mom mo?" and I would shake my head with matching bungisngis.
Fastforward to Friday evening...
Ald (runs inside my parents' room): Nakita niyo na ba yung adik? Ay hindi pala, yung bago nating yaya?
(I was walking as slow as I could. I had already pictured how my mom would react when she sees me with my new 'do during the whole four-hour trip.)
Ma: Hi... *gasp*
Pa: Anak?! You look...
Ma: You look pretty, honey! :)
Hallelujah.
****
ACCEPTANCE.
The strongest among all foundations of our relationship.
"Magpa-bangs na rin kaya ako para Mama mo talaga ako?
****
I was never perfect, but you showed me I didn't have to be to be loved.
For the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad--one thing remains... you have loved me unconditionally and for everything I am.
I love you so, so much. :)
