Dear Mama,
I don't know how to say this or where shall I begin but let me greet you HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. How I wish I am right beside you today to feel the warmth of my embrace and kiss you on your cheeks like I always do when you're here. You probably know I am not vocal to letting you know how much I love and care so much for you more than now because of your situation. I am hurting still for what happen to you and burst out in tears whenever I think that we can't do so much anymore.
I can't change what happen in the past. That's a fact. I want you to know that a profound gratitude will never end for bringing me into this world and raising me positively. I can clearly recall how you taught me to read the clock at the age of 5 and shouted at me each time I committed mistakes. I was only kindergarten then and that thing is supposed to be taught on the 2nd grade. But as I grew up, I've realized that some things are learned the harsh way. Thank you for making me realize that.
You instill in me the value of education at a young age and so I strive hard to be the best student as I can be. Before, I can't think of ways to make you happy than to achieve AAA grade in class. I want you to be proud of me so I didn't stop until I get the 1st honor in class. And with guidance of our Lord and perseverance, I made it. That looked upon your face and indescribable feeling when you stepped on the stage, I knew that you're proud of me. I wasn't after the fame, all I want is for you to be happy.
Do you still remember what happened during my freshman in high school? When my then adviser asked me to bring you to her office because I broke the florescent lamp by playing sipa right inside the classroom?. I was very nervous then and feared that you'll scold me to death. But I was wrong. You just kept in silence and said it's okay as I'm still learning to grasp the changes from being your baby girl to a free spirited teenager. Lesson learned: Take full responsibility of my action as I entered the new phase of my life.
When I was diagnosed with tuberculosis, not a single a moment you left me to fight that impairing condition. I expected to feel pain but all seemed so light because there's a magic in your hands. Mother's touch is the best medicine and so it seems.
I'm quite guilty when you still wash my undies despite the fact that I'm on my twenties already. You know what mama, I just love that.
"Kapag nagmahal ka anak, huwag todo-todo, huwag lahat ibigay at kung maari, magmahal ka pa ng isa, para 'pag nasaktan ka, may reserba." Those were the exact words you said to me when I tasted my first love. Funny yes but had I known it was damn painful to fall out of love, I would have done that. Mothers know best indeed.
Each night, I pray to God up above to bless you a healthy and longer life so we can watch movies, dine out and do more shopping together with my sisters while you comfortably sit in your wheelchair.
Because of you, I am confident to face whatever it is in life. And when you grow old, expect me to be at your side forever and ever.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Your pretty and sexy panganay,
Jonna
