So this was supposed to be posted weeks ago but since I have been procrastinating, I only got the chance to finish this now.
So I brought my sister's kids to Bonifacio High Street for some toy-shopping since two celebrated their birthdays recently. I cannot help but get sentimental when my niece came to me and hugged me and said "Thank you, Jaja."
I have no kids of my own (yet!). So naturally, with thirteen nephews and nieces (just from my siblings, not counting the cousins), all attention of the "doting uncle" go to them. Coming from a closely-knit family, I not only stood by while these kids were growing up but I was literally a player in their formative years. I gave them milk, sang them lullabies, put them to sleep and yes, even changed their diapers.

My point here is? Well, just spend time with the young ones while they need us. there will come a time when we will need them but they might be too busy to give us their attention. Whatever family values you instill on them while they are young, they will most likely do to you or their kids when they get older.
Oh and this article is inspired by the song "Cats in the Cradle". =P

Cheers!
