ten years ago, this beautiful ANGEL was born... so small, so delicate to touch... being the first born grandchild in the family, all of their attention was drawn to her...
now this is her... soon to be a grown up lady... sigh... how time flies so fast... my one & only reason for living is slowly turning into a woman... my only regret... not being with her during the transition of her life...
i remembered it clearly, after getting back into my senses after sedation from giving birth, she's the first thing that crossed my mind... i wanted to see her immediately... i will never forget the feeling when i first held her into my arms...
way back then, i planned to be a full pledge mom... but as she grew older, my plans deviated from what i want it to be... i have to give her the brighter future she deserves...
i can't finish this post for her... there's a lot worth telling... but i am way too outdated from the happenings at her life... we're so far from each other... she seems to be distant to me now a days... but still, i'm hoping... no matter where i will be... she will love me as for me...
"i conquered it all"... is this the right words to describe her?...
the first born of seven siblings... a beauty queen during her younger years... a licensed teacher(from Philippine Normal University) with a master's degree... diligent, hard working, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a friend to all...
as i have remembered, she is one busy working mother... devoted to her work & yet never fail to have quality time with her family... i admire the way she was able to manage her career & family life at the same time... getting up early to prepare breakfast, working from 7am-5pm, going home & still able to prepare dinner for the family(lunch time is not included because all of us are out of the house during weekdays)... one tough mom... honestly speaking, i can not be like her... i can not survive with her routine... too stressful... but this is my mom... TOUGH!!!
she stood the test of time... survived all the obstacles that came her way... i miss her... it's almost ten years ago since i had the chance to hug her... thanks to the modern technology, at least i can see her even if she's a thousand miles away...
but what can i share about her?... there's a lot to tell... hmn... besides from being a great mother, she is also one cool grandma... on the day that i was about to give birth to my daughter, she has this mixed feelings of excitement & anxiety(as if she will be the one who will give birth)... added to her daily routine was waking sophia early in the morning, playing with her, talking to her... sophia was just a year & a half old when she left... but as i have said earlier, thanks to the modern technology...
as i was watching her while making this blog... i can not help but notice that as if she never aged a bit... no fine lines... still looks like the same mom that left 10 years ago... still chubby, cute & cuddly...
like for the post i made for dad, this one is still incomplete... i have a lot more to tell... but i don't want to make her cry while reading this entry...
this is just my simple way of expressing how thankful i am for having her as my mom... we've been through a lot... & there's still more to come... but come what may, no matter how hard the storm, we will always be here for each other...
I LOVE YOU MOM... YOU are the BEST MOM in the world...
