Time runs so fast. It passes unnoticed. I could clearly remember my darling Tamarra when she was still a baby. There were so many sleepless nights for me back then. Why? oh! She seemed to always have a concert every night. My husband and I would alternately attend to her during the night. She would cry so loud without us understanding what really was happening to her, or if there was something she wanted. We only had better sleep then when she turned two years old. LOL! Those were really difficult days for us. Going to work with very short rest during the night!
While growing up, she seemed to have compensated all our sacrifices for her. She made us real proud with all her achievements the moment she entered school. She started joining contests, and quiz bees. She would always bring an award. It really felt wonderful being this girl's mother.
Now, she's in Grade 7 and is continuously doing all she could to reach for her dreams. She just turned 12 last 21st day of this month. That is why I would always remind her to take her time and don't pressure herself too much. She is still very young and I want her to enjoy her youth. If she achieves anything this school year, I would of course be very proud of her. But more than that, I want her to take it slow and to avoid stress. I don't want her to miss anything about being a child. She is not yet a teen, but she's already in junior high. And I think that brings the pressure and the confusion (at times), too.
Whatever it takes, I am going to be behind my daughter all the time. I love you, Ate.
