Without Her I'm Nothing

Today is the birthday of my dearest mother. The woman who gave my life. Without her I will be nothing in this world. Her sacrifices and love she gave us is unconditional. I consider her the greatest gift God had ever given me and to our family.  There are times we have misunderstanding but she never gave up to show her compassion and kindness. I know I had given her problems and heartaches, still she never surrendered to love us. I saw her cry, I also feel her pain when she is hurt, in spite of this she is strong enough to stand-up the trials in her life. My mother is my pillar who always give me the strength when I'm down, when I cry, when I feel vulnerable. She is always there to comfort me in times of my loneliness, my sickness, and when I'm weak. Although she may not be able to read this, deep in my heart I will always love her for the rest of my life. Words are not enough to describe my gratitude to her for being our mother. Thank God for giving this Mother to our family.

I love you Nanay ....

Quality Time With My Mother

After the day I came back to our beloved country, I invited my mother, sister and my nephew for a lunch date at Max's Restaurant, SM City Bacoor. My mother had enjoyed the menu that was served to us like her favorite kare-kare, pancit canton, fried chicken, tokwa't baboy with that delicious sauce, and the pritong bangus (boneless) with spicy chop tomatoes. I really wanted to spend quality time with my mother to show her our love, and in return to give her back the affection she really needs from her children.  She will have an operation soon to remove one of her breast and I want to be on her side during that time to give her my moral support.  I'm really praying to God that the operation will be successful and for her quick recovery.

Happy Mother's Day

To the greatest mother on earth, Happy Mother's Day, Nanay Lina! Mahal na mahal ka po namin.  Sa lahat po ng mga sakripisyo ninyo para sa aming pitong magkakapatid, hindi po ito matutumbasan ng anumang materyal na bagay.  Ikaw na po ang pinakadakila at importanteng regalo ng Diyos para amin. Lahat ng iyung paghihirap, pagtitiis, pagmamahal na inukol mo amin, maraming maraming salamat po Nanay Lina.  Nawa'y gabayan po kayo ng ating Panginoon sa araw-araw at bigyan po kayo ng malusog na pangangatawan habang buhay.

To My Dearest Mother

Today is a very special day for our family.  A very special person is celebrating her 69th year of life which our Lord God had given her.  We all consider her the greatest gift God had given to us.  She is loving, compassionate, soft spoken, hardworking, and most of all kindhearted. The person I'm describing is no other than my dear mother.  I can no longer find any superlatives I can tell about her.  After raising seven children in her entire life, we are giving her back the special attention and care she deserves. I believe its our moral obligation to give her the love she had given us.  I'm a living witness of how my mother sacrificed her life to raised us to be a good and God fearing individual.  Without her, we don't exist here on earth. My only wish and prayers on her special day is to have God give her good health, stronger body, and more years to come of living here on earth.  To you my dearest Mom, Happy Birthday and I love you!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is a very special day for a person whom I considered the greatest person in my entire life. Without her, I will not be here pursuing the purpose of my existence. Every mother on earth is considered the “light” of each every home. Mothers are the greatest gift God had created. Like Mother Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, she is a symbol of piety, compassion, and love. I would like to consider this day so special for her although we are miles away from each other. I missed my mom so much that I could not give her a hug and kisses, that’s why this essay is dedicated to her for all the good things she had shared and given us. Her sacrifices, untiring love, compassion, and kindness will forever be remembered by me together with my brothers and sisters. Words are not enough to describe her dedication as a mother. We are very grateful to God that he gave us a mother like her. Today she is celebrating her 68th birthday, still very strong and healthy. We are praying to God to make her life longer so we can take care and serve her more. Personnally, I don’t know the repercussions if she ever leaves us. I may not be able to bear the emptiness of her presence. We also pray to God for her good health and lasting life. She deserves our care and in return to give our support and love for her.

Mom, we LOVE you so much. Happy Birthday and thank you for being there always. Take care of yourself. God bless you and may happiness and love reign unto you for the rest of your life.

Ode to My Mother

An angel ... smiling on me
healing my sadness
feeding my hunger

A women ... of sacrifice ... of love
of understanding and patience

A women of piety ... devout and God fearing
unselfish and caring

My mother is like a haven
Where you can find peace and refuge
She is one and irreplaceable
For the love she always stand

My mother is a gift from God
The women of my heart, lasting and forever.
