Ate Maisie received the 2nd highest honors in her class. At dinner time we had this conversation:
Papa: Yeheey ate maisie you placed 2nd. Its okay ate maisie that you are not the 1st.
(Ate Maisie was pointing at me sadly.)
Papa: Why ate Maisie?
Ate Maisie: Mama said its not okay.
Mama: (feeling guilty. I really was pressuring her that if only she gave her best in our study session she'll be the top of her class.) Ate even if you are not the top of your class you are still first for mama and papa and Jaden.
At that moment I hugged her and she kissed me.
Ate Maisie: Are you sure mama?
Mama: Of course!
Then I realize every chance should be a lesson learned and shared with your little ones. From then on, everytime Maisie and I talked, its like I'm talking to a grown up. Its one of my most important bonding moment with her, our little conversation. And I wished and pray with all my hearts, I can have that same conversations with Jaden.
Anyways, on the day of the recognition, we were there for ate Maisie. We are very proud at what she was able to harvest.
