How we celebrated my second-born's quarantine birthday in the U.S! | Rica Peralejo - Bonifacio

This boy comes with a whole bunch of stories.

First, he comes after three siblings, one who is almost half a decade when he arrived, and two others who never made it seeing the light of this world. There were tears and fears before his coming which I thought would take longer to cure.

Second, his first ultrasound was done because I bled while walking around. I honestly thought I was losing again, but when his heartbeat came on the speakers in the hospital, tears gushed out of his mother who couldn’t help but be touched by the sweet sound of life.

Third, he came to us in our home. Not in the hospital, but in our home.

Fourth, we celebrated his very first birthday in America, with half of my family who live there. It was like a sweet gift for family who live halfway around the world because since we’ve lived this far off from each other they have never had the chance to witness the development of my firstborn and my sister’s child firsthand. Such is the reality of being far and apart. But God orchestrated this boy’s life to be a gift in that he learned to stand on his own, walk, and even run, all the while that we were stranded in the U.S. He has fallen in love with my own siblings and nieces and nephew in a way like no other. His first few favorite dishes are that of my Kuya’s tinola, my sister in law’s shrimp and sayotebg ginasa sa bawang at kamatis. He waited for Tita Belle to take him out to the pool area when he came home, or always looked at the door to see if Dedeng is back from work. He ate pies and cakes off from their plates, played with their cats and dogs! I can go on and on, but you get the picture, he is a gift. He is special in his own way.

Fifth, little after he turned one he cut his fingers so bad we had to bring him and wait nine hours before we were dismissed, his wounds all glued up, from the E.R. in the U.S.

There are more to add to this list and he is only on his first year of life. What a adventure he is! And so I would also like to share with you this video — a very personal one. It includes prophetic dreams, journal entries, the meaning of his names, the definition of a brother, and how he healed our longing.

I will steal no more from the rest of what you will watch, but please, I ask you, finish it. The last clip is actually the best part. Because Manu wasn’t only born so he could be a son to us, but also, a brother to Philip. ❤️😭
