Dear Nanay

my mom (on white dress ) with her sister

Dear Nanay,

 I actually do not know what to say...I've let this day (mother's day) pass without me talking to you and greeting you personally, I tried calling you this morning but both Tatay and Rachel's phone can not be reached. I'm sorry I did not call again and texted you na lang.

 I was actually touched by Ate Rina's post in her facebook page because what she said was true. The last time I was there, you talked to me and then you cried, I wish I didn't see that, I wish I walked away from you and did not listen but I can't do that, how can I? when you always tell me that it's only me whom you can share your problems (for the reason that It seems I have lesser problem than my siblings and that you don't want to add to their burdens) I so admire your patience, your courage and your love for the family, I know if you did not endure, I might have been in a broken family now. 54 years with Tatay :) you're my hero! I wish we could all have the strength you had and we will all be like you, family comes first before self. And with that, I can proudly say, I have the best mother in the world!

 I pray the Lord will grant you more years here on earth and that you'll be bless with more love and happiness, things that you haven't had the chance to enjoy while you were young because you're so tied up in working to provide for us. I wish I can bring you to restaurants, hotels and other places you'll enjoy because more than anybody else, you deserve it.

 I love you Nay. I love you so much.
 Happy Mother's day!!

 Love,

 your bunso

Flowers for Mom

My Mom and I had  wonderful catching up moments when I went home last Thursday and to see her happy is worth all the hassle of long trips going back home. And because Mother's day is coming soon, I am thinking of sending her flowers because I realized she never get to have flowers from us ever since, we used to send her cards and gifts but never flowers and I am sure she will be surprise to receive such.

It doesn't have to be grand arrangement flowers, in fact I can send flowers under 20 to her and I know she will still be very amused just by receiving that.

How about you? what are you sending your mom this mother's day?

Happy Mother's day!!

I know for a fact that to have kids is like to have the best diet pills that work in the whole wide world, Mothering is a job that gets your time 24/7, no day offs, no retirement and no leave of absence. But is generously paid by the love and smile they get from their children. So for all of us, it's time to pay up Mom. Give her a hug or call her and tell her how much you love her.

I missed my mom..but I'm gonna see her next week!!

Enjoy your day mommies!

I wish..

I could treat my mom to a posh 5 star hotel this mother's day and just lazed around the big room watching movies with home theater seating, eating, playing games with her grandkids, swimming at the big pool and shopping.

I have been dreaming that for a long time now and I really hope I could do that before I die.

And since I still can not afford that luxury, mom has to suffice her self from me popping up in her door with a cake come mother's day. I bet she would love it too. To think I am the only one from the brood of four that is going home to see her on Sunday :) Love you Mom!!

And Happy Mother's day to all the moms out there!
