Waiting for Skye

February 13, 2010

I just arrived home from one of those baby shower invitations. As usual, the attendees were all excited for the baby to come out. I am specially excited because the soon-to-be mom was one of my constant companions during college and even after. This night was the first night I saw her big belly (hahaha), and well, I just couldn’t imagine that she will already be a mother.

She was my partner in crime. Whenever a drink is all I need, she was always the first one I’d call. We laugh at the silliest things, and yet we talk of the serious questions in life. Of course, there was, at first, fear that we could no longer go to those smoke-filled places where bands go, or to those convenience stores in gas stations to grab a beer or two. (Perhaps this is what one feels when most of her friends are settling down.) Or that we are no longer of the same frequency. But, what the heck, we’ve outgrown (or outgrowin) those stuff. We can’t stay that way forever. And I’m pretty sure, there would be new experiences with this new chapter in our lives. After all, we’re all very excited to see Skye. She’s gonna be well-loved by all of us, her mom’s sisters.
