HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!
One of God's biggest blessings to me is He giving me the best mom and bestfriend one could ever have. A very very gorgeous and sexy mommy at age 57!
She's the tita Nellie-barkada to my friends, they can talk about anything under the sun! To this day, my friends would call her or drop some goodies for her even when I'm not living with her anymore. My sister-in-law, Ava never fails to greet her on special occassions. She's the surrogate mom of my bestfriend, Tet.
She's very skilled in anything that involve crafts and a genius when it comes to baking thus she created my wedding cake and Ethan's 1st birthday cake and all of my other birthday cakes until I stopped blowing candles. You should see how fast she whips sumptous dishes on every occassion in the family. For me, her dishes are the best in the world. NO ONE CAN BEAT THEM!
She's the mother-in-law who always thinks that there is no better person for me except for my husband, Titan. That's one of the reasons why I married this man. Mother knows best, right? They're the terrific tandem!
And eventhough, her youngest and only daughter is the 1st to get married in the family. She was very supportive and happy for me and Titan. She always was and forever will.
Then, I blessed her with her 1st grandchild, my son, Ethan. I would never imagine motherhood without her by my side. She was the one who carried Ethan on his way home from the hospital. She was staying in the same room as ours during the 1st few sleepless nights we had Ethan. She was present in all of Ethan's 1sts. She gave him his 1st haircut, 1st nailcut, 1st meal, 1st bath and many other 1sts. Yes, it wasn't me, it was her. She was present in Ethan's every doctor visit, threatre kids plays, and children's parties.
So, just imagine her sadness when we announced our big move and that she can no longer see her daughter, only son-in-law and 1st apo everyday like it used to be. She insisted on putting up a christmas before we left last year, so in a way she was able to celebrate Ethan's 3rd Christmas. We had Christmas celebration in October. They also had their last photo opps on Ethan's favorite park and in all corners of the house.
It was even harder to part with her during the day of our departure. I almost didn't leave the country.
But like any mother would do, she was the ever supportive mother and told us to move on with our lives and that this opportunity is the best for our young family.
To my ever-pretty Mom, I am glad that you are my mother. I will forever be grateful of your genes, skills, values and motivation in life. We love and miss you. See you soon! This slideshow is for you.
