The Mojicas Plus One
One of my favorite
authors wrote that love is really just about reaching out your hand in the
dark, not knowing if someone else is out there. But when your hands meet, you
know you'll never be alone again.
The past 3 weeks made our
marriage grow by leaps and bounds. This being the reason for it:

There was silence as I was being wheeled to the OR for my emergency c-section delivery. We were only looking at each other, my husband and I, because there really was no need for words. It was my first time to be operated on, first time to get anesthesia, first ever hospitalization. Despite all the scary things, I was calm and steady knowing that I'd brave through anything as long as it'd be the safest for my baby.
From being taken to the OR, hearing our baby
cry and holding her for the first time, feeding her, changing her nappies,
burping her at 3am to just staring at Kaya with this look of disbelief as if asking, we did this? We made her? How is that possible?? I understood what
never being alone really means. Beyond the physical presence, it's the
assurance that someone else is looking out for you all of the time. That when I reach out a hand, there is always someone out there ready to meet mine.

I have a partner in
this crazy, beautiful life. In Filipino, katuwang sa buhay. Ang sarap. What a
gift.
There is not much nostalgia as this year ends because I feel like a chapter ended weeks earlier as we started a new journey: that of being parents. There is fear, there is uncertainty. But there is also so, so much love.
Looking forward to
what's in store for our little family this coming 2018.
Wishing you love and light!
