Acceptance. :)

February 17th, Sunday

As a single mother, one of the dilemmas that I have is whether or not Nyx will be accepted by Erick’s family. I guess this is one of the many challenges single mothers face and I’m not an exception to this case.

Upon realizing that NiƱo (Nyx’s father) will be gone for good, it never really came to me that I’d be with someone again. I know I’m too young and it’s too early to tell yet. It’s just that the thought of rejection scares me to death. I hate the thought of Nyx being rejected by my future in-laws. We see a lot of it in movies and Lord knows it’s possible. So I dismissed the thought of being with anyone again.  

But..

Apparently, God has another plan for me. He knows that I need someone I can share my life with given all the responsibilities I’m faced with. He gave me a chance at love and life. I’m grateful of the chance and I’m just happy God made it so easy for me and Nyx..
It took us months to introduce Nyx to Erick’s parents. They were already made aware by Erick that I have a son even before I met them. As far as I can recall, their only concern was whether or not I am married. They were sort of pleased when they learned that I’m not. Erick was insisting that we bring Nyx in his family house months before we actually took him in Batangas. I was not convinced that they’d like him so I was hesitant. To my surprise, it was a breeze. In an instant, I felt that they sincerely like Nyx.

Nyx has this natural charm. Aside from looks of course, he knows how to make someone like him effortlessly. I think most kids are like him. I know I’m just biased because of course I’m his mom.

We spent our weekend in Batangas and I can never be happier as a mother to feel that my son is accepted by my partner’s family. Now, I’m convinced that I’m blessed to have Erick in my life. I never felt as comfortable around Erick’s family as I did this past weekend. Erick’s mom even gave me a purse and bag which I super like!  Everything changed when I felt their deepest concern to Nyx when they learned that he was rushed to the hospital few days ago.

Pagdating ng house, di pa sya nakakapagpalit ng damit, upo kagad sya then he started playing with Eric's niece. :)

Nyx feels so at home in Batangas now.
Di naman halata na at home talaga sya noh?!

Mega close na sila ng kapatid ni Erick.. Super habol na sya jan and everyone in the house adores him! ♥
Hiniram nya lang yan sa pamangkin ni Erick! Parang sa kanya lang ung mga damit e. :)
Mawawala na naman si Jollibee sa eksena. :) We dropped by Jollibee before going home. :)

Happy pa sya nyan sa byahe.. Super sanay na sya sa byahe. As in. Wala na lang sa kanya ung 3 hours na byahe.

Nakakatulog na din sya ng mahimbing sa byahe. Then when he wakes up, he'll ask.. "Andito na?"


He didn’t ask about going home in Cavite. He played with kids from the block and he even let me sleep while he was out playing. He was so comfortable that he wanted to go back in Batangas as soon as possible. I feel completely satisfied now as a mother to Nyx and as a partner to Erick. ♥




Note to Erick (My No. 1 blog reader):

"Thanks for making the load lighter. Thank you for the love and acceptance. Thank you for the understanding and patience. Thank you for giving me the family I never had. Thank you for making me feel complete. I can never ask for more (aside ofcourse from the ones listed in my wishlist! :p). Thank you for the trust. You know I’m bad at this, but I just want to say Thank you for everything! I love you babe!  ♥♥"

Things I should be thankful for:

I just thought that listing all the good (and bad ) things going on in my life will somehow invite good vibes so ima start doing that! :)

  • Im sooo happy because my brother received approval na for his scholarship from Strike Revilla. This is a perfect time to take advantage of assistance like this from local candidates kasi election is fast approaching na. Thats about Php 5000.00 din! :) Its a big help especially that 2nd sem is almost over and the check he'll be receiving will go towards savings na lang.
  • Yesterday was my restday and it was a very productive one. I have been planning to go on a general check up a long time ago so I can maximize my health card benefits and I'm glad it finally translated to reality yesterday! I had my blood chemistry done and since I'm having some problems with my menstrual period, I also had my transvaginal ultrasound done and I got favorable results. So I walked away from the clinic really happy. :) Im awaiting the results of my lab tests and I'm also hopeful there's nothing wrong with me. Keep praying! :)
  • I did some shopping today (pre-loved items), the money I saved from getting my ultrasound done, I used it for something else. :)
  • Nyx and I had great quality time again today. Moments like this will always be worth my time and its priceless! :)
  • I woke up to the smell of hot chocolate prepared by my super wonderful boyfie! :)
  • Mom is feeling better now. She's been feeling a little hypertensive for days now and I'm glad she's better.

Eric and I just started to hear mass regularly this January and it feels great. It feels so good to be closer to God. It feels light and everything feels ok. I have trillion other things to be thankful for and all these I owe to Him! I also wanna thank Eric and my son for giving me the motivation I need to stay positive in life.

 

Positive vibes everyone! :)
