Dear Jxeck Rwen,
Few weeks before you were born, I shared my thoughts about how I felt for Zk ✍️, overwhelmed with a strong sense of loyalty to him as our only son at the time. 👨👩👧 I still thank Zk for making me a mother 👦, but I'd never imagined that I'd be as grateful as now with you...true, you did not make me a mom, but you certainly made me a better one. 🤱
By (as Zk would call you), we grew a whole other heart just for you--turns out, it's the only thing in this world that cannot be divided into two. 💕 Our love extends to depths that we didn't even know was possible, until we became a family of four. 👨👩👦👦💓
With Zk, I had always looked forward to the future, wondering how I could do better each day. ⏩ You see, your Kuya gave you the gift of going first, because now I know how to mother way better. 🆙 With you, I have learned to lean into motherhood (quit my 10-year job, so I could wfh 👩💻 and be a full-time mom 🚼). I have realized that there will be days when I could be just a Mama---not a hero who saves the day, and that’s okay. 🙇♀️ Sometimes, saving the world may simply look like putting you both to sleep at the same time (yet I still could not get my longed-for nap)! 🧘♀️
You finally made Papa Owen more confident and firm with his parenting decisions and actions, for which I am truly proud of. 👨👦👦💯 He is indeed your "Papa" as validated by another baby's first word. 🙄
I really wish GP could celebrate this first bday with you...🥹 I am comforted by the thought that at times (which people have noticed), you remind us of him. ❤️🩹 You are blessed after all, with the overflowing love and wisdom from Lola Phem and GM. 👵❣️
Rn, the second heart that I grew, has likewise found a strong sense of loyalty just to you. 💘
I love you, with all my heart and mind. 💚❤️
Mama Glay
