Wow! Seems like were celebrating a lot of birthdays this May. So we have Bea, Micah’s mom, Sandy’s friends, Crissy, ate Macy’s dad and brother. Happy Birthday to all these people! But can I please add one more person to the list? Please?
I knew you’d say yes. Haha! Thanks!
I was nine and she was ten when I first realized how much she loves me. I was a big kid, a really big kid. It was no surprise that taking the stairs to my classroom, which was unfortunately located on the third floor of the building, became a major challenge for me. At first, I carried a stroller thinking that it would be easier since I just have to pull it up, but I was so wrong! I then changed it to a backpack. It was a bit easier to carry but I was still panting like a dog upon reaching the room. My boy classmates even made fun of me. So bad! Tsk, tsk!
I told her about it, but instead of comforting me, all she said was “magpapayat ka kasi.” I hated her because of that.
