Rica Peralejo Shares Realization About Motherhood As Philip Moves Up To Grade 1

Rica Peralejo shared her realization about motherhood as her son Philip moved up to Grade 1.

Actress Rica Peralejo took to social media as she shared her realization about motherhood as her son Philip moved up to Grade 1.

It was last October 21, 2020, when Rica Peralejo shared the good news about her six-year-old son Philip graduating and moving to Grade 1.

The said ceremony only took place recently as it’s postponed a few months earlier because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In her Instagram post, Rica suddenly had a hard realization about motherhood when she’s looking at her son’s photo wearing a graduation sash and holding his certificate.

Rica shared that her only prayer was that her son had still like to meet her for deeps and sillies even when he had no longer any need from her.

She then hoped that Philip would understand that his parents would always want to be with him when the time comes that he’s independent, even when he grew up.

“You are my firstborn and equal, a son and a good friend. Love you, Philip. You are so precious to me”, Rica told her son on her post.

So we took these yesterday. My son moved up to Grade One this year but the ceremony had to be postponed for a few months due to the pandemic. Finally, it is happening and we were asked to send in photos of our boy with his sablay, LLH pin and certificate. Now as I was transferring photos from camera to phone and sending them to our provider, I couldn’t help but write this. “How can you be grade one now and how can you be seven in three months? All the numbers are going up, yours and mine, but all that means is that there is less time.😭 From the moment you were born, it was always about letting you go. My only prayer is that you’d still like to meet me for deeps and sillies even when you have no longer any need from me. By that point, it is I who will need more from you and I hope you will always understand that though we never own you, we will always, always, want to be with you. 🤍 You are my firstborn and equal, a son and a good friend. Love you, Philip. You are so precious to me.” Here we go again. A simple ritual, a simple requirement throwing me off into the depths of motherhood. Moms have to manage many silent cries. And we often have to quickly wipe the tears away as we get up and tend to need after need, lest they see and ask why. For how can we tell them it is because you? You are the reason behind these salty drops streaking my harried face. Tears of joy mostly, yes, but also some of sadness, some kind of advanced grief or mourning for those days when things would no longer be the same. When I am safe from stepping on Legos and the books are always arranged, with nothing much to do but gather dust. 💭
