Nagdiwang

DAHIL sa enhanced com­munity quarantine, walang bonggang handaan nang mag-first birthday ang bunso nina Ding­dong Dantes at Mar­ian Rivera na si Jose Sixto “Zig­gy” Dantes noong April 16.

Siyem­pre, masa­ya pa ring isinelebreyt ng mag-asawa ang milestone na ito sa bu­hay ni Baby Ziggy.

Si Mommy Marian ang in-charge sa simpleng handaan. Ginawan niya ng chocolate ice cream at chocolate cake ang anak.

Si Daddy Dong, ginupitan ng buhok ng kanyang junior na ipinost pa niya sa Ins­tagram, kalakip ang isang touching na sulat para sa anak.

Dito inamin ni Dingdong ang pangamba sa “new nor­mal” na haharapin ng kan­yang anak.

“What’s happening now is a clear manifestation of our actions and inactions – and we are reaping its effects which could benefit a few, but for most… just hard learnings about humanity, the planet and spiri­tuality.

“But I guess as parents, that’s what we are here for.

“We are here to prepare you for that jungle out there. Though there is fear, it is also you (and your sister) who give me courage to carry on and strive to make this world a sustainable place to live in. You give me the drive to make me want to be a better version of myself.”
