How do I Love Thee?...

How do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways....
By Elizabeth Barett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Hi Enzo,

Mommy just wants you to know that I really love you very much...and mommy is doing everything she can to give you a comfortable life...Please understand that mommy is doing this for you..

----------------------------

As most of you already know, I have accepted the job in Singapore... ang sakit ng feeling, knowing that I'd be leaving enzo...That I won't be there when he makes his first "pag dapa"...his first "gapang"...his first words....even yung paglabas ng first tooth nya (or is it the first pair of teeth?)...

I know my husband will take good care of him, pero it's not a question of whether he will be well taken care of....I want to be with him when he experiences all the "firsts" sa buhay nya....It's one of the joys of being a mom...



------------------------------

I will miss you so much baby....Mommy loves you very, very much!!!

YOU by Karen Carpenter

Hubby got me a "new" phone yesterday.."New" meaning newly bought, but not necessarily brand new - a Nokia 6630. It has a built-in MP3, among its other features. Anyway...

As i was rockin enzo to sleep, i turned on the mp3 and listened to the selections of the previous owner. ...One of those was the song YOU by Karen Carpenter. I have heard this song so many times in the past and know (like most of you, i guess)that this is a love song....I never thought that it could have a different meaning for me now...I cried (silently lng naman) as I sang this song to enzo while rocking him to sleep earlier...

i have pasted the lyrics here...for the moms out there (and mga dads na rin) try nyo lang singing it to your kid/s...

YOU

You are the one who makes me happy
When everything else turns to gray
Yours is the voice that wakes me mornings
And sends me out into the day
You are the crowd that sits quiet list'ning to me
With all the mad sense I make
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true, how can anyone mean more to me than you.
Sorry if sometimes I look past you
There's no one beyond your eyes
Inside my head the wheels are turning
Hey sometimes I'm not so wise
You are my heart and my soul, my inspiration
Just like the old love song goes
You are one of the few things worth remembering
And since it's all true, how could anyone mean more to me than you
