I visited Che last Saturday on the occasion of her firstborn’s christening. Didn’t make it to the baptismal rites at 8 a.m. because of dragon boat training which turned out to be a complete waste of time.
Che made me a ninong (god-father) in absentia (right, Che?). Che has lost a lot of weight. Obviously, she’s adjusting to her situation. Some women gain weight after giving birth. The opposite is true with Che.
Baby Joaquin, very cuddly at one-and-a-half months, kind of warmed up to the people who came to celebrate his introduction to the Christian world. I like infant baptisms. The love between a man and a woman manifests in a miraculous event such that nine months later, a new life is brought forth into the world. Bringing the baby to be baptized is a wonderful and proper way of thanking God for the “bundle of joy”.
