For my mamma...

During weekdays, my lovey-dovey handsome men pick me up from work before going home. Yesterday, I saw a little plant with its little flowers. I asked my hubby, '..where did you get that plant'. He answered 'Gabriel said it's for you. He asked his nonna (lola) to buy a flower for you because he said you don't have any flower at home'. My heart was filled with joy!! I feel soo proud of Gabriel and soooo loved by him. It is not the first time he did it to me. He knows my 'kiliti'..hehe.. knows what I like. He's very thoughtful to me as if he's willing to do for his mama :)


My byenan always says that Gabriel is 'lost' without me. He's not mama's boy, since he can stay without me in the school and with his nonni. But when we are at home, he's too much clingy! He's a little jealous with his papa...hehehe. He loves to kiss me all the time, he kisses me with no reasons. He flashes his smile back at me when I smile. Nope he's not a mama's boy...I guess.. hehehe

mama, don't you like to stay with me

....mamma non vuoi stare con me..? (mama, don't you like to stay with me?, with his face asking for mercy) It's the favorite phrase of my son every after meal at night.

He goes to bed with his favorite toy (lego-made airplane or sports car). He loves to caress my hair, maybe my hair helps him sleep (hehehe). He likes to kiss my cheeks and say 'mamma, ti voglio tanto bene' (mama, i love you very much), and I answer him 'anchio, amore' (me too, love). Then he flashes his sweetest smile. I have many moments likes this, and I never get tired of experiencing. It's wonderful. A priceless moment.

So, how can I say 'No' to my son's invitation? Maybe If I suffer from fever, I have to distance myself from him for health's sake. Everytime I ask him to say his personal prayers that goes:

Nel nome del Padre, del Figlio, e dello Spirito Santo. Amen. (+ In the name of the Father...)

Grazie Jesu, Grazie Maria, Grazie da mangiare, Grazie per la mamma e Grazie per papa. Amen.
(Thank you Jesus, Thank you Mary, Thank you for the food, Thank you for my mama, Thank you for my papa.)

Nel nome del Padre, del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo. Amen. (+ In the name of the Father...)

This is the only prayer he says even attending the Mass or lighting a candle in the Church. In the next months, I'll try to teach him some simple formula prayers.
