Today is my daughter's 4th birthday. I asked my parents (and sister-in-law) to throw a small party for her in our house and just invite our relatives and some of her close friends. And kanina nga, I called them up using Skype. I wanted to attend her party - kahit as a virtual visitor.
She was so excited when she saw me. She was wearing her blouse and skirt birthday outfit na ilang araw niya na ring pinagmamalaki sa akin. Tumuntong pa sa chair para ipakita sa akin ang buong outfit niya. She looked very happy and seemed to have been enjoying her small party. I get to talk to all of her visitors - my cousins, my tito and titas, my daughters friends, etc. Socializing kung baga, as if I'm also there.
When eating time came, she asked her tita to slice her a cake and she ate it in front of the webcam. Inalok pa ako at nilapit sa webcam yung food, as if gusto talagang ipakain sa akin. Gusto kong maluha... Gusto kong magdisappear sa kinaroroonan ko, pumasok sa webcam ko, at lumabas sa webcam nila. Para naman mayakap ko ang bebi ko - on her special day. Pero pinigil ko nalang ang sarili ko. It's her birthday and I don't wanna ruin it by crying.
She's grown, really. And some day, I'm still praying, that I would make up to all the missing months in our life. Someday, next year. Hopefully!
