Auditorium Chairs

Yesterday.... After attending the thanksgiving Mass held for Father Paul.... My Lizzie saw me and ran to me to show me a scratch and a mild bruise on her right leg....once again she got this from one of the seats at the SJCS Auditorium.... 
This is the 3rd or 4th time that this has happened to her.....I spoke to the teacher and I said I'd meet them at the school clinic..... so when I saw Lizzie there with her teacher, she cried and told me that she had purposedly not informed her teacher about her minor injury because she wanted me to be the one to treat her.... So I asked the school nurses if I could treat her and they kindly agreed..... I did so with Lizzie crying and I had to stay on until lunch to make sure she was okay.....
So this is why daddies are important in every child's life.... They depend on us, they need us, we are their source of strength and stability, as they are most certainly our best source of joy, and yes, also strength....one day they will become independent and self- reliant..... But they will always need the assurance, at least, in their mind and in their heart, that daddy will always be there!...... 
To Nikki, Niccolo and Lizzie... You know dad will never be too busy or too tired.... or too old for you...Love you guys!

P.S. ..... This is the 4th time that my Lizzie has been injured by a seat in the auditorium.... 
The first 2 was during graduation practice and the 3rd and most severe one, was during graduation ceremonies, where Lizzie could not finish the program because there was an open wound on her leg that was quite long. I was told by the teacher then, that she had already informed the person in charge about the earlier incident.......But they had not done anything, they have sharp, steel objects coming out from the seats of our very expensive school..... 
Much can be said about my kid's "being malikot" or even naughtiness, but the seats ate supposed to be safe and kid friendly, aren't they?....I remember listening to several school orientations where injuries or accidents like a kid hitting his head on the post or slipping on the floor, would be made into an anecdote and given punchlines like, "yan na rin ang sahig nung nag-aaral kayo dito" or "kailangan ng poste ng school." It ellicits some laughter, I however, could never get past through the injured kid, so I never smiled..... Any injured student is always a travesty....it is never to be disregarded or taken lightly, not in a public school, and most certainly, not in a very expensive private school..... Please do take care if our children....................
God bless the children, they are our best chance for a better world and God bless and enlighten those who have been tasked to guide them and care of them....God bless all patents!
