an angel of a son

Today, my son Angelo and I had some very hard moments. I think he will not be able to enroll in this big school he is attending. I felt so bad while ranting my frustrations, that I did not think - the hurt I felt must be twice or thrice for him.

I have been so lenient to my children and I think they all have this feeling that the world out there will understand them the way that I do. Now, I just pray that this world would not be that harsh for them.

I cried my deepest cry today. But now I am thinking, my son and I should not hurt our relationship. After all the hurt, I only want to embrace my son and cover him from frustrations. Frustrations are but fleeting. If we both dwell on it, we won't be able to move on.

Oh my Angelo, this is for you my angel:

"Nothing in this world is ever completely wrong, even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
by Paulo Coelho

Today, I was afraid that I would leave this world early because I thought I still have many things to teach you to survive this life. But on second thought, life is a better teacher than I am. Just go on living, my angel.
