> mother'S daY

Guess what I’m doing this Mother’s Day? Better, guess what I’m not doing?
I’m not going to or be able to see Mama and say "Happy Mother's Day". Sad, yet true. She's too far away. I don't wanna rant how I feel on the complexities of life. I'd rather be thankful knowing that I have a "nanay" whom I could be a great son.
It was so sweet seeing Ate Erlynn so happy because Matt sent her flowers, cake, balloons and Teddy Bears albeit their distance [Matt is still at Missouri]. He's really a sweet and loving husband. Swerte ni Ate.
Others may wonder if my yearning. The truth is, I’m not big on Mother’s Day, really. I’m happy though, knowing that there is a special day for great mothers like mine.
I must admit this time I grappled with sadness and happiness because I really miss my own Mama and Lola Alta. I know how painful it can be to watch other people going out with their moms when you don’t have one to share that moment with because they're too far. I knowam blessed with very loving "lolas and mamis" at work, but it’s just not the same.
So as you buy your cards, candy, flowers, and whatever else, please take a moment and realize their importance, being the mom who raised and bore you. It really will mean a lot.
