Quote About Son Growing Up Novels & Stories

"Kaya when you grew up, and when that same situation comes to you, be smart. One wrong step can lead you to forever regrets." Nagpatianod naman ako at ihinilig ang ulo sa dibdib ni Mom. For the first time ay nakuha naming ang maging malambing sa isa't isa, like this moment. "Yes Mom. I keep it on my mind." Taos sa puso na pangako ko sa sarili ko at sa kaniya. "Very well, son. I believe you will be a better man in the future." Pahayag ni Mom na hinahaplos ang maitim at makapal kong buhok sa ulo.

Mahaba niyang wika at tinalikuran ako kaya malakas akong napahalakhak and he shot me with his scornful look. "I really can't believe how you laugh at my misery, mommy." He shook his head disappointedly and walked out from my room as my laughter echoed in its four corners. Naligo muna ako bago bumaba. I'm kind of sure that my son knocked on my door to pitch me for dinner, nakalimutan niya lang sabihin dahil nagalit siya't pinagtatawanan ko daw siya. I can't help but to laugh, he's like constipated kanina to ask if pwede ba siyang tumabi sa'kin. Ayaw kasi no'n na bini-baby ko siya dahil malaki na raw siya and looks like my baby is still a baby. I don't want him to grow up yet. He will forever

I asked him. My son smiled widely and nodded. “Of course! And I love her too,” he said. “Never forget that, okay? Always keep that in mind… always... r-remember that Sandra… loves us both. Keep that in mind especially when you get older… okay?” Unti-unting nawala ang ngiti ng aking anak. Even at his age, he's very smart. Alam kong unti-unti na niyang naiintindihan ang lahat.

Ngunit sa kabila ng marangyang pagpapalaki sa kanya, wala siyang kaalam-alam sa pagpapatakbo ng negosyo. Madalas siyang biruin ng ama, sabay tawa at haplos sa kanyang ulo, “Anak, sadyang spoiled ka. Wala kang alam kundi gumastos. Paano ako mapapanatag na ipasa sa’yo ang kumpanya balang araw kung ganyan ka?”

Nakita ko ang lungkot sa kanyang mga mata. " No, son… you’ll be a better version of me when you grow up.. Dahil hindi ako maging hadlang sa kung anong gusto mo." " Why daddy? Hindi mo ba gusto kung anong meron ka ngayon?" inosenteng tanong ni Jairus. Sa batang edad nito para na itong malaking tao kapag magsalita. Kaya tama si Adrian, matalinong bata si Jairus naintindihan na niya ang mga pangyayari sa kanyang paligid.

Hindi na maipaliwanag ang kabang unti-unting umusbong sa dibdib niya. Mayroon bang hindi siya nalalaman na alam ng mga ito? Quinn sighed. “The truth is—” “Let me handle the explanation,” their father cut off. Tumingin ito sa kaniya. Tumaas ang sulok ng kaniyang mga labi. “Kahit ba naman sa pagpapaliwanag ng mga nalalaman ni Quinn kayo pa rin ang sasalo?” His voice was mixed with sarcasm. “Kung sabagay, kahit matanda na ang anak ninyo, ni minsan ay hindi niyo siya pinagbuhat ng kahit na anong bagay— kahit pa nga plato niya dahil ayaw ninyong napapagod siya. Well, hindi iyan matututo kung ganiyan lagi ang gagawin ninyo. Aasa na lang sa inyo iyan hanggang sa tumanda siya.” Bawat salitang lumaba

He was still his father even it's the end of the world. "Mom, it's human nature. Men are easily attracted to beautiful things. There are no man who's unhappy to see pretty things." Pakiramdam ko naman ay sinabihan ako ng anak ko na hindi ako nag-iisip. Na common sense na iyon. "You're beautiful and pretty. It's impossible for that man not to covet you." He said like a grown up man. It's still unbelievable that I am hearing this from a three year-old kid.

“Nahhh- leave this to me mom, why don’t you just go back to your room and be busy with dad? - I mean, baby brother?” Puno ng kapilyahang sabi ng anak saka tumawa nang marahan niya itong batukan. “You are way too young to be saying those things, Macy… But you know what? That is a great idea.” Natatawang sabi ni Lexie, napa hagalpak naman ng tawa si Macy bago siya muling niyakap at pinupog ng halik sa pisngi. “Oh baby, please don’t grow up so fast, parang kailan lang hinahatid- sundo pa kita sa nursery, tapos ngayon parang mas matangkad ka pa sa akin.”

"Gerard, son, I know you. You want this. You dream to become an actor. This is the first step you need to take. You may feel afraid at first but you’ll get use to it. This is your dream, don’t be afraid to reach for it. I know you’re great." Humigpit ang kapit niya sa phone. Malalim siyang huminga at pinawalan iyon. "Thanks, Dad. I’m calm now." "Now you do. You just want to hear a pep talk from me, right?" Natawa ang kausap niya maging siya. Naligaw sa kung saan-saan ang pag-uusap nila. Kung hindi lang tinawag ang daddy niya ng direktor, alam niyang hahaba pa sana ang usapan nila.
