Today
is my mother’s 59th birthday and I thank God because He gave me such
a wonderful mother like her. There are many things I like about my mother which
I truly admired of… her humility, patience and unconditional love.
I
saw my mother how graciously taught us these three important virtues. As time
passed by, I learned that Humility is the SOUL of forgiveness and forgiveness
is the HEART of humility. Like my
grandmother, she’s also patient with us --- as her children and I love her for
that especially when we were still so young. Her unconditional love taught us these two
basic things (forgiveness and patience); truly mother knows best.
I’m
proud of my mother for being such a great daughter to my grandmother and
grandfather. She may not able to attend further studies in secondary school because
of poverty
yet I owe her a lot of what I am right now. She strived and encouraged us to
have a better education and to attain more what they don’t have in life through
perseverance, discipline, determination and patience. The love that she learned
from my grandmother is definitely an epitome of a woman with a good heart, with
her loving kindness --- what else is there to be grateful for to God every single day and having
such a wonderful mother like her… I will always thank and love God for the rest of my life!
Happy
birthday Nanay! =)
(I
like the message of this song by Elvis Costello especially the following lines)
She
may be the mirror of my dreams
The
smile reflected in a stream
She
may not be what she may seem inside her shell
She
who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose
eyes can be so private and so proud
No
one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
may be the love that cannot hope to last
May
come to me from shadows of the past
But
I'll remember till the day I die
She
may be the reason I survive
The
why and wherefore I'm alive
The
one I'll care for through the rough in many years
Me,
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And
make them all my souvenirs
For
where she goes I've got to be
The
meaning of my life is she
