It’s been a while since I spent some quality time with my
mama. We used to have lunch at least once a week to catch up on each other’s
lives. She’s been too busy lately and it wasn’t with me. Yes, at 34 years old,
I still miss my mama. A child can never be too old for some mothering.

Mama has been a homemaker all her life and that continues on
until now since she’s taking care of my brother’s children. She used to tell us
that once we have children of our own, we’re out of the house. I guess that
doesn’t apply to all because she’s taken the role of mothering her
grandchildren. I don’t really get it. As to why, it is quite personal to share
so let’s just leave it that.
In my nightly conversation to God of thanksgiving,
complaints (Yes, I’m only human. I talk to God like he’s my friend and I admit
I have complaints too) and prayers, I thought of my mama and how she willingly
gives her time and care to everyone who needs it most. She’s selfless and it defies all
parenting rule there is. So now I understand. I just hope that people around
her can make things easy for her. And I pray that God grants her good health,
strength and peace of mind.
Mama, for all your goodness we are grateful. =)
