Admirable

One time, my sister was asking me for a picture of myself. When I asked why, she said it was for her assignment: something about the person she admires most. I said, why not a picture of Mommy instead? Or Ate? She shook her head, no, it’s Ate Tweety.

Nakalungkot din (I felt it ought to have been my mom)… and heartwarming at the same time. Napaisip ako nun, what did I do right to earn this little girl’s admiration? I was dumbfounded.
