today, i remember:
someone who carefully held the bike to keep my balance..
..when i insisted i couldn't do it.
someone who riskily let me go when i can seem to pedal my way down the street..
..when i didn't have a clue that i'm actually doing it on my own.
someone who collectedly caught me when i fell..
..when panic took over the fuzzy comforting feeling upon realizing he's no longer behind me.
someone who said falling is fine and natural, and prodded me to stand up and start again..
..when i thought i'm a lame rider and incapable of learning.
more than the bike-riding lessons, he taught me my first lessons on trust, independence, failure and bouncing back.
tatay didn't only teach me how to ride a bike, he taught me how to ride with life.ü
and today, we remember your birthday.
