HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Mama!

I was always resentful to my mother when I was in my young youth. I never got along with my mother for so many reasons. Although we lived in the same roof but I never became really close with my mother because she was too busy with my other siblings. I am the second child of six and my mother was an all-around homemaker trying to juggle between taking care of her kids and doing the chores and other responsibilities too as a parent while my father was out working hard to bring money into the family.

Even though I wasn't the favorite kid in the family, my mother had always time to attend to school meetings since grade school until my high school days, during the important events of my life she was the one who was always there with me in my kindergarten, elementary, high school and college graduations to witness the accomplishments I made, she never failed to take good care of me when I was sick (though she forced me to eat something when I'm not feeling good, even if I so want to puke yet she forced me to have something in my stomach), she bought me things I needed, she bathed me, washed my clothes and made sure I had neat and clean clothes when going to school.

Mama, I know you can't read this but somehow I am hoping you will. It pains me so much that we've not spent as much time as I wanted when I was still living with you but anyhow, deep in my heart, you filled that void in my heart for having a mother like you. I may have not told you ever before that I LOVE YOU, now is the time you know those words. I seldom say it to you because I am kind of shy uttering these to you but please know deep inside I really do and I care for you mother dear....and I appreciate all the good and bad things you have done to me... I never knew how it is to be mother until I became one myself... and being one isn't easy. A mother always puts her child on top before anything else no matter what the circumstance is.
