Simple Joys

Since yesterday, every time may magte-text sa akin ng birthday greetings for Josh, sini-save ko sa Inbox ng cel ko para pag dating nya nung hapon from school ipapabasa ko. He was smiling from ear to ear, reading all those well wishes from my sister and some friends of mine. His Ninang Sheila from the US also sent an email.

Until today, may humabol pa ng belated text. So pagdating ulit ni Josh galing school, tinawag ko and gave him my celphone. Tanong si Kuya Leland “Ano yan? Bakit mo binabasa ang celphone ni Mommy?” My proud nine year old smilingly answered, “Kasi ang daming nag-greet sa kin sa birthday ko. Si Auntie Sharon, si Ninang Sheila, si Tita Cindi, si Tita Jen ...” Kitang-kita ko sa mukha nya yung pure joy na may nakaalala sa kanya on his special day, kahit thru texts and emails lang.

Hay, ang bata nga naman, hindi natin minsan nare-realize na yung mga simpleng bagay na ganun, enough na pala para pasayahin sila ng todo. Nakakatuwa!
