NICCOLO

My son Niccolo has this reputation in school as being hyperactive, a little talkative and one who enjoys making jokes.....I've been informed by some of his teachers about this...they say he is "medyo malikot and madaldal" but that he is always repentant, respectful and kind....well there is a side of Niccole that none of his teachers and his classmates know......

Tonight while I was at the dentist, I was texted by my son, informing me that his mom was sick.....so I told my dentist to try and speed things up, so I can go home immediately.....When I got home I found my son Niccolo, preparing the dining table, putting all the plates and the utensils, together with my dad. I checked on my wife, and found Nikki and Lizzie taking care of her every needs....My wife had hyper-acidity and I believe over fatigue, as it is not easy taking care of the family and of the house all by her lonesome.....so I gave her the necessary medicines and went down to check our dinner......again, together with Niccolo and my 84 year old dad, we set up dinner...then after dinner, I asked Nikki to give Lizzie her bath and look after her mom, while Niccolo washes the the dishes and finishes up the work in the kitchen with my dad and me....Niccolo was fantastic, he was fast, he never complained, he just worked.

This is my son..."makulit" in school but sweet, "malambing" and always very helpful at home, esp. to his grandparents, and to me and his mom. When I cook, he helps me too....he has the hallmarks of a true gentleman....doesn't mind doing household chores and always takes care of family...he will make a good husband someday.

Tonight, while my hardworking and lovely wife is sick....My kids and my parents were there to take over....this is my family.....and I am truly blessed to have them in my life.

God bless my friends! Good night!
