Making life with HER…

Mutter, Madre, Mat’, Mater, Mommy, Mama, Nanay, Inang –whatever

an endearing term we call her, it definitely points to one and only

figure, our Mother. A person that no one in this world can live without.

With her nurturing nature and undying love she exudes in many

wonderful ways that make us truly feel that we belong. Without her,

life would be an empty space that no one could fill up. It’s like being

lost and wandering aimlessly without any right direction or purpose.

Her beautiful soul is indeed a good example for us to serve, accomplish

and persevere. Finely described as a wonderful woman, so gentle yet

so strong. Known for her absolute patience though foolishness arises

within her children. The great teacher, that gives you guidance

whenever one asks for it. And a true friend and confidant, who is the

fountainhead of comfort, a cushion when we fall and the best source of

hope and inspiration in times of strife.

In my thirteen years of life’s journey with my Mom, we had “our times

together”- encountered joy and sorrow. With the power of two, we

conquered all the confusing obstacles in life through cooperation and

rooted emotional support. With my Dad working abroad, my Mom

does her best to stand by me and makes our home a good place to live

in for the family. I am greatly amazed of how she can do things in one

time and came out perfectly in shape. When I was younger, I even
thought she has that sort of magical power that can do numerous

things with ease and excellence. When I have school activities, she

never misses any of them and she always cheers me on. She is my

critic and my greatest teacher, as she spots out lovingly my inequities

and lavishly praise my good points. Whenever I see her happy face, I

do every bit that I can to make her very proud of me. In every misdeed

that I do, she patiently reminds and disciplines me. I can’t forget her

lines,” we are unique from each other, an individuality that we have to

respect and for that I have my way of bringing you up that only a Mom

in me can understand by heart.” She is my inspiration and hope to

soon succeed in life. She is indeed an ideal mother that every daughter

could be proud of and looked up to. As I carve my own person, we too

have our share of occasional spite, but we always come up to a middle

ground as I listen intently some words of wisdom from my Mom and

realize things as she too, listen to my woes and angst of growing up

with so much compassion. With HER tender loving touch at my back

and soothing stroke of my hair my pains and fears will totally vanish. I

proudly describe my mother as a patient, loving, responsible,

hardworking, a woman of wit and integrity.

She is a woman worth appreciated and well loved that a day is

specially commemorated for her greatness, “Mother’s Day.” It is never

a forgotten day, an annually celebrated in the month of May in honor

to our mothers that serve as positive contributors in the society.

To all the Mothers who counted their children’s shared laughter, clear

away tears with hugs and kisses and endlessly infuses our lives and

the world with LOVE day in and day out, “ Happy Mother’s Day.”
