It can be sad at times but I know there are other things for you to do at this point in the journey. Same with Butch. I don't know how I would deal with the empty nest. Just the other day I was thinking that in six years P will be graduating from college. I hope she goes to Medical school so that we can have her with us longer. At buti na lang may Grade two pa kami!

The grandchildren. I would be delighted to have them in say 5 years ? Not anytime soon okay? Toe: that’s right. The grandchildren. I would be delighted to have them in say 5 years ?

Olga: Leave future worries for now. Just continue to love your daughter the best way you can. Mothers are by nature overprotective. Trust your instincts.

I guess when the time comes, my daughter will attend a university in Manila. I wonder if I can cope with that. I worry too much for her safety. Leaving her in school as she entered first grade is very stressful as it is. I even demanded that one of the teachers should accompany her if she has to go to the restroom as there are bigger kids in that section of their school already. I kept hovering outside their classroom, school authorities posted signs politely asking parents, etc. to refrain from doing so. No need to guess to whom that is specifically addressed to. I know my protectiveness over Abby has gone on overdrive since I lost my baby. Reading about your experience is giving me a glimpse of what is in store for me and my husband in the years to come.

And when my siblings went to college , the high school kids stayed behind. It must have been hard for my dad when we all left but I guess he started to get used to it.
