My Mother Is The Best

Mother's day is just a simple day for me, since I grew up in the province where occasions like this is nothing but an ordinary day. We didn't even took a time to celebrate it or even greet our mother.

But when I got here in Manila, I had known that Mother's day is that special. And I realized that it should be, because mothers are special.. They're our teacher, babysitter, friend, adviser and defendant at all times. In short they are our HEROES.

And through those years of being with my mother,  I realized that I had never given her a special celebration for mother's day nor gave her a gift, and I felt so guilty. But since I am not used to that, so maybe I am forgiven. (hehehe..)

Today is Mother's Day and I had so much to say about my mother. She's so kind, loving and has a pure heart. I still remember during my childhood that I never had an experience being scolded by her. I was so pampered with her love and care. She's been so proud of my achievements in school. I salute her for being so patient, and the way she took care of us (and now her grandchildren). And even if I'm closer to my father when I was a kid (Papa's girl), I love her so much. I appreciated all the things that she has done for us. Just like what I wrote here last father's day, "And when he (my father) left, I appreciated my mother so much for being a martyr wife and a loving mother to us. She became our father and mother for the past 20 years, and that was not a joke. I had witnessed her pains, the nonstop cry, the struggles and the trying times of being a single mom. She's the best, a truly perfect mother a child could ever had.". 

Being away with my mother is so hard, though sometimes I went home to visit her and had my vacation, but I knew it's not enough. I felt so guilty that I had not given her time, though I'm supporting her financially. I knew she was deeply sad because I'm not with her. I even remember every time I arrive home, it's like a telenovela scene...the hugs and the tears were enough proofs that she terribly missed me. I just hope I could give her more time, pamper her, give her gifts that would make her happy. And I always been praying to GOD, that HE may continue to guide her, and give her good health.

Happy Mother's Day to you Ma,... So sorry for not being with you when you're sick, for not giving you time, for letting you cry, for taking you for granted sometimes..I may not be a perfect daughter, but I love you so much...Thank you for giving me life. Thank you for the unconditional love, support, care, and guidance you've given me all these years.

Thank you for being a GREAT and PERFECT mother. I LOVE YOU!
