We opened Mika\u2019s educational fund when she was a baby. I even thought I was planning her college before she learned to read properly.<\/p>\n<p>Above all, I want him to learn how\u00a0<strong>to be independent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h5>A child who learns to sleep on his own<\/h5>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div data-cptid=\"adx_300x250\"><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">When Mika was in preschool, I had trained her to sleep in her own room.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t love him.<br \/>\nOn the contrary\u2014I loved him enough to understand this: a child is not a man if he clings to his parents all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Mika\u2019s room was the neatest and nicest in the house.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 A wide bed with a quality mattress we bought at the mall<br \/>\n\u2014 Shelves full of storybooks, comics, and legends<br \/>\n\u2014 Stuffed toys carefully<br \/>\narranged\u2014 A night light with a soft, yellow light<\/p>\n<p>Every night, I read him a story, kissed him on the forehead, and then turned off the light.<\/p>\n<p>Mika was never afraid to sleep alone.<\/p>\n<p>Until\u2026 One morning.<\/p>\n<h5>\u201cMom, I felt like my bed was cramped last night\u2026\u201d<\/h5>\n<p>That morning, as I was getting ready for breakfast, Mika had just finished brushing. He came over, put his arms around my waist, and spoke softly and sleepily:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom\u2026 I didn\u2019t sleep well last night.<\/p>\n<p>I smiled and turned to face him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Why, son?<\/p>\n<p>He frowned, as if in thought, and then answered:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Like\u2026 My bed was too tight.<\/p>\n<p>Napatawa like.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Your bed is the size of your bed, and you\u2019re the only one sleeping in it. How did it become so tight? Maybe you just left your toys behind?<\/p>\n<p>Umiling siya.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Hindi po, Mama. Maayos yung kama ko.<\/p>\n<p>I patted her on the head, thinking it was just a child\u2019s complaint.<\/p>\n<p>But I was wrong.<\/p>\n<h5>Words That Have Been Scared Over and Over<\/h5>\n<p>Two days later.<br \/>\nAnd then there were three.<br \/>\nUp to a whole week.<\/p>\n<p>Every morning, Micah would say the same thing:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Mom, I can\u2019t sleep.<br \/>\n\u2014My bed seems to have shrunk.<br \/>\n\u2014Sounds like someone is pushing me over the edge.<\/p>\n<p>One morning, he asked me a question that stopped my heartbeat:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMom\u2026 \u201cDid you come into my room last night?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I knelt down and looked him in the eye.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014No. Why did you ask?<\/p>\n<p>Mika hesitated for a moment before answering:<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Case\u2026 I felt like I was sleeping next to someone.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to laugh and keep my voice calm.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014You must have been dreaming.

Our home is safe\u2026 Nothing bad will happen.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m out of contention.<\/p>\n<p>Instead,\u00a0<strong>I picked up a camera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A small, barely visible CCTV in the corner of the ceiling of Mika\u2019s room.<br \/>\nNot to keep an eye on him\u2014but to put me at ease.<\/p>\n<p>That night, Micah slept soundly.<\/p>\n<p>The bed was fine.<br \/>\nThere is no goal.<br \/>\nNo one is taking up space.<\/p>\n<p>I gasped for breath.<\/p>\n<p>Until\u00a0<strong>2<\/strong>\u00a0a.m.<\/p>\n<h5>2 A.M. \u2014 The Moment I\u2019ll Never Forget<\/h5>\n<p>I woke up thirsty.<\/p>\n<p>Walking through the living room, I automatically turned on the camera\u2019s live feed on the phone\u2014just to make sure everything was fine.<\/p>\n<p>At doon\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>My whole body froze.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the screen, the door to Mika\u2019s room slowly\u00a0<strong>opened<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>May pumasok.<\/p>\n<p>The body is stunning.<br \/>\nHer hair was white and gray.<br \/>\nThe steps were slow and shaky.<\/p>\n<p>I covered my mouth as my heart beat faster, when I finally understood:<\/p>\n<p><strong>It was Grandma Nena.<\/strong><br \/>\nShe was Ramon\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n<p>He went straight to Micah\u2019s bed.<br \/>\nHe carefully lifted the blanket.<\/p>\n<p>And then\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>He sat down next to his grandson.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like\u2026 It was his own bed.<\/p>\n<p>Mika moved slightly, pushed to the edge of the mattress.
