To my little boy Zak,you are the second born of a second born daughter. we share the same fate. we will always be the spare child. the other one. the funny, crazy one. i know Ate Zoe is going to be a tough act to follow but do not despair. you have the charm to spin us all around.
never let your being the second born make you feel second in anything else. never let your being the younger child, make your other sibling receive more, get first priority, get first pick. you have to settle this yourselves and learn to defend yourselves not with your brawn but your wit.
I hope i'd be able to teach you that you do not have to act strong all the time. that crying is not discouraged just because you are a boy. i hope you will grow up comfortable in articulating your feelings. and that the words i love you will be easy to utter.
I love you.
Nanay
