She
was born in 1993.....20 years ago.
On
the 17th day of the month....just like myself and
her name is Patricia ... derived from mine.
She
now lives and works on the other side of the world and has been
doing so for 3 years. Way too far for Papsie but that was her choice.
On occasions when we'd have a chance to chat on the phone, my heart is
flooded with so much joy & happiness. Catching up on the mundane and
trivial things in our lives, even for a brief moment, somehow helps
narrow the distance that span between us.
I
have realized that the toughest thing about being a parent is learning
when NOT to be one. Though I would have preferred to keep her
close, I knew I had to let her go. I needed to step back and let
my teenage daughter continue to grow into the person she is to become.
But today, on her birthday, she is no longer a teenager...
Now
before I let my mushy sentiments get the better of me, all I really
wanted to say is...
HAPPY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATRICIA !!!
Know
that Papsie is here for you ALWAYS.
(But
if you should need any financial help, best to call your lolo and lola ...ha
ha)
Teenager
no more, you will always be my little girl.
Love
you baby :)
