I Was Touched
I was talking with Papa in the kitchen when he happened to mentioned to me something that I never knew before. You see, I have a rough time with my pregnancy and it is also one of the reasons why I don’t want to get pregnant again. I was so afraid to go through the same thing. I am just happy to have Frankie although I know it would be nice to give him a sibling. When I was 6 weeks pregnant with him, I started spotting. I thought it was just part of being pregnant but I was advised to take a bed rest for 1 week. It was very stressful for me too. The motivation I had then was at the end of the tunnel, I will see a beautiful baby in my arms and Ryan, the baby and I will leave happily ever after.
Well I didn’t know that when Papa knew about my situation, he promised to offer Our Lady of Perpetual Help a novena and visits Her church every week until I will give birth to the baby and he followed his promise until the end. Papa didn’t have any job and he said looking for money for fare was such a challenge. There was even a few times that he rode his bike to church just to be able to get there which by the way was in the city. I had tears in my eyes when he was telling me this. I never knew that he went to that extent to help me with my situation. No wonder the connection he has with Frankie is just special and also no wonder when he asked me to name Frankie after my Lolo Francisco, Ryan and I couldn’t say no. Despite what other people said about his name, I am glad we named him that. I am sure not all of you believed but we did and my pregnancy might be rough but I know that someone up there was and still is watching me.
