\u201cMom\u2026are you okay?\u201d
\nI hold my breath for a few second \u2026 I close my eyes and let out a silent sigh.
\nI cannot see his eyes but I can strongly hear his agitation.
\nA child in a body of teenager but trying hard to be a man.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes I am fine \u2026 I\u2019m okay \u2026 nothing to worry.\u201d
\nMy voice lighten up a little but it can\u2019t be wrong, he fell it strong.<\/p>\n
He knows .. yes .. \u00a0we know that deep in our hearts\u2026We know!
\nWe are moving mountains with our Faith and Love with each other.
\nWe know that our problems are also mounting \u2026
\nWe know that in our silence \u2026 we cannot lie and we won\u2019t lie;<\/p>\n
Though we speak thousand words of assurance ..\u201c.we are doing fine.\u201d
\nBut deep in our heart \u2026 its deepest silence lies \u2026.
\nFear \u2026 uncertainty \u2026 longing \u2026 false hope and life\u2019s negative thoughts.
\nAnd \u2026 .doubts \u2026 lot of doubts.<\/p>\n
He look into my eyes and smile \u2026
\nNo one will take this moment from me, not even distance.
\nThe eyes that still holds hundreds of questions.
\nThe shy boy become a child again though he tries hard to conceal.
\nThe swag and confidence of being love \u2026 was and still is.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you and take care Mom.\u201d
\n\u201cI love you son.\u201d<\/p>\n
I can still hears his voice .. \u201cMom you go first.\u201d
\nAs I click to end our conversation \u2026 I whisper softly.
\n\u201cYes Mom is fine\u2026I need to be fine.\u201d
\nMy first born .. my first pure love \u2026 and more first to come.
\nIs counting to his strong and loving mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
