The dunes of our whereabouts
. Thanks for sharing. Sige until here for now, regards me. As for us, we're ok din, same as usual, nagka new baby lang 2 kids na mayroon ako.
A reflection I would want to share "To understand Mother's Day and what it really means, you need to understand the person in your life called 'Mother'. Mother is one who nurtures you in her womb for nine months and brings you forth to enjoy the supreme blessing on earth, that is, Life. Mother is one who guides you through your infancy and turns the soft, helpless creature to the powerful and successful YOU. She is the guardian angel protecting you and supporting you, feeling for you and serving you silently always with a smile on her face. She prides herself watching you grow and provides you a shoulder to cry on whenever you need. She is every child’s best friend For a child, every single day should be a Mothers Day. The essence of the meaning of Mother's Day is in the fact that we should try and make this day every year a memorable one for our mothers. She should cherish the special feeling of this day and the intensity of that feeling should last her the lifetime This is the day to stop, remember, and pray for that special person in our life, without whom we would not have been, what we are today; a day to prove that all her efforts, towards making us a complete person, have been worthwhile and make her feel proud for us. In the broader sense of the term, Mother's Day is a day to be grateful to God for being so kind as to bless us with a mother. Most of all, I guess it means to think of her happiness on this day onwards, with pleasure and with love. My mom has been very fragile when I arrived in philippines last March 30. She doesn't want to eat and really weak. She doesn't have any sickness except the old age that has taken over.Yet with my sister's tender loving care, she gets stronger everyday. She is 86 years old, did not recognize me the day I came and I cried hugging her and letting her know am there. It took her a few hours to remember who I am. When I danced she said I look like her youngest daughter and it gives a sparkle of light in me. It makes me sad but knowing she was still breathing, I felt comfort and hope she will be ok. I stayed with her for 5 days. She is wearing a diaper and she is on soft diet like a baby. As days went by, she improves a lot. She started to recognize her family and started to speak in english about her life in the states. A month after,it has been a rewarding efforts. I went back and forth for 5 times to see her. The day we left, she is all active, smiling and babbling. It was a tremendous relief. She recognizes steph and alexandre. When steph and Alex hugged her, she was so happy but teary eyed missing Colleen In her younger days, my mom is full of life, vibrant and always on the go. In her seventies, she was still so vigorous, active and just have so much flare. The baby in the photo was Alexandre, that was 14 years ago. She was already 72 YO. My mom was so pleased with his coming. To my mom, life is not yet so short, enjoy the pampering from all of us. Thanks for the lovely smiles! Looking at her fragility, I thought of myself in my eighties. I just said, oh my, wil I be still that strong at her age? She is the only mom I know, she might not be the perfect mom we dreamed of but she is worth more than anything else in this world for having borne us all and given us the chance to experience to be a mother as well, well love by our own kids. This day means a lot to celebrate knowing my mom is back to vibrant life. All the Glory back to the Lord for this wonderful moment to remember. Happy Mother's Day to all lovely mothers there. we have so much to be proud of...
I am in aw while reading your happy recollections of you being with your mom.
Hi dhay fe,thanks, being a mom myself, I know how it feels to be loved. Lahi gyud og anak mo. Somehow its the awakening i want to bring up, before it was too late. Salamat sa imong time og sori for not answering quickly.
dhay vk, kumusta ka na? thanks dhay for the reflections, tutuo iyon, akala ko mawalan na ako nang nanay and that's how I realized she is just dear sa amo. How I wish she is still there for long. Ang sarap pag may nanay kang inuuwian. Sige lang kahit malayo ko nasa isip mo naman ang family. Just be patient.
