the interview...

that was painless... it's done and over with, and the trip was even longer than the whole interview process. i know i said i'll tell you all about it, but i won't know the confirmation(result) until the end of october or first week of november. until then, i'm keeping the details to myself. i just don't want to ***x it... i'm superstitious that way... but as soon as i get the confirmation, i will divulge everything. promise...

it is homecoming week in my son's school. they had the bonfire last night and he went. he didn't go to or participated much in these school activities in the past but that seemed to have changed this year.

i know he's being brave participating in these activities, having zero experience in a social environment. i think it is me who is not being brave enough. i worry too much, i stress out about it, and yet, i have to keep those feelings in check so he won't sense my apprehensions, and hinder him to experience these things. i don't want to deprive him that. if he gets hurt in the process, the best i can do is be there, and hold him and assure him that things will be alright. i just have to step back and let him experience all these, if it also means letting him fight his own battles.

cliché as it may sound, i now truly understand how my mom felt then...
