The Pink Girl

I am excited today.

My sister Maitz and Nicole will be coming over tomorrow. Yesterday, I went to Victo to get the little girl something of a pasalubong from me when she arrives.  That is how I welcome these little nephews and nieces when they come to visit me and their Tito Ed.

What did I get for Nicole? It was a Strawberry Shortcake coloring book with stickers in it.  I’m sure the little girl who loves pink things will also love this one. Her penchant for anything with the pink color in them is amusing to me. Since she was a toddler,  we noticed that she liked pink. And she is the girl who knows how to sing “Alone” by Heart. At 5 years old, (she is 6 now), she knew how to sing that! It makes my heart smile.

She would be seeing her doctor at the Philippine Heart Center again, for another round of check up. I’m praying that everything will be alright, and that her closed-heart surgery will be scheduled soon. Right now, the family is really praying that she will get the right treatment for her Atrial Septal Defect. But I know, God is always there to see us through this.

Some two Decembers ago, I brought her a blue pencil sharpener, but I call it a pencil grinder ha-ha! When I handed her the little box, she just stared at it.  Well, funny,  I forgot that she really liked pink.

Sandals, pencils, notebooks, flipflops, earrings, dresses, ponytails, headbands… all in pink.  So yesterday, I made sure that I got the right color. I also got her a set of crayons, and a pink crayon tin box. So Tita is all set to present her pink presents to Nicole tomorrow. I hope she likes it.

I’m glad that they are visiting me (”,)
