I Am Her Security

A couple of days ago, I tweeted and also shared this in my FB:

Klaire cried because of the thunders. I love that she wants me to hold her because she’s scared (I’m scared too, btw)

The lighting streaks and thunderbolts were too close it was really scary. And K still has no idea what the sounds were or why it was happening. She was napping when it started. She was understandably startled. I felt needed. And as her Nanay I am more than willing to protect her from whatever she fears. When I was younger, I remember curling up in bed alone, covered in blanket and silently asking for my own Mommy when there’s a thunderstorm. The world has turned and I have a role to portray even if it means I have to overcome my own fears.  

I am here sweet baby, just hold my hand.
