Lost and found: little boy JENNARD

It was Saturday morning when Ched, Jennard and I decided to take our breakfast at Jollibee, Welcome Rotonda. Ched wore his uniform while Jennard and I wore our pambahay…

We ate and made kwentuhan and deciding whether to go to SM Bacoor (coz it’s their 3 day super sale!) and then go to Mark and Min’s house and stay there overnight...

After having our breakfast, I decided to go to SM Manila with Jennard to buy the bag which I saw the other day…so we went to SM Manila and still we were with Ched because he was heading the way to Park and Ride. I was so hesitant that time whether to go to SM Manila or to SM Bacoor…but then I decided to go with Ched going to SM Bacoor and feel the moment with the two handsome guys in the world…(my husband and son, of course!)


my son Jennard

At long last we reached SM Bacoor…Ched went his way to his office while Jennard and I went our way window shopping…

Wow!!! There were so many people inside the mall…not only because it was a 3 day sale but because people came in to make palamig because it was really hot outside…

Yup! Jennard was also very excited and he knows where he will take me…to the toy kingdom…it is his favorite place every time we go to SM. I was looking at the different shirts at Mossimo and he kept on saying “Mommy, mommy, lika na, bili mo na ako ng mga animals! Sige na…” Then I’ll tell him, “sandali lang baby, tingin muna is mommy damit ha…” but he kept on pulling my hand and said “sige na bili mo na ako ng animals.”

Weww! Ang mga bata nga naman! So, we went to Toy Kingdom and as usual I bought Bam his favorite…animals…I bought him that big lion and that small frogs which he like so much…he can’t wait and wanted to play immediately with his new toys…

But of course, since I am his mother “ako ang nasunod!” We roamed around the mall and entered one boutique after the other. I was holding his hand tight so he could not get off my hand.

When we entered MINT, I was looking for some blouses that will fit me while holding Bam’s hand…may be he was tired of walking he said “mommy uwi na tayo” and then he ran and get off my hand and walked towards the exit…I hurriedly run after him. I can still see him walk holding the bag of the toy which I bought him. Until a girl bumped at me and passed across me. In a wink I lost sight of him…

I run and said “Jennard…Jennard….San ka na?” while I was looking for him. There was no response…again I said “Nard, anak, nasaan ka?” while I keep on looking for him. My God! I can’t see my son. I began to perspire hot…I wanted to cry but there were no tears that fell down…I began to panic…I looked like Sisa that time…I ask every people I came across with...nakita nyo ba yung anak ko? Naka kulay blue siya na strifes.” I wasn’t in myself that time…I was helpless and I really don’t know what to do…I thought I lost Jennard…I was crying then…I walked some more steps and finally I saw my boy…oh my baby!!!

I can’t forget the way he looked that moment! I saw him standing in front of a woman and a little boy who were talking to him asking where his mother was…he was crying while he was holding the bag of toys and he was saying “mommy, mommy, mommy.”

I felt relieved after I saw him and I hurriedly embraced him and said “akala ko di na kita makikita,”…I embraced him tight…very, very tight! He stopped crying while I embraced him. Then I told him “ayan ha…wag ka nang bibitaw kay mommy” and he nodded.

As we walked through the hallways of the mall, he was holding my hand so tight. He never got off my hand and I’ve noticed that he looked at me every now and then…

Wow! This one made me really very nervous…akala ko maloloka na ako…but then I whispered to God “thank you Lord I found him…”

This was a lesson for me…great lesson…also to Jennard though he is only 3…but this boy is very bright…smart kahit makulit!!!

I love him so much….I love Jennard very much!
