My mom to describe is like solving a 100 pieces map picture puzzle, she loves to clean, read and talks anything about everything, she is a strong believer of the golden rules "DON'T DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU", growing up is not entirely perfect but such rule has become a part of me all the days of my life.
Going back into the topic, I don’t consider our bond as a supper glue since, I did not grew up with her, but perhaps I would call it an instinct understanding between mom & daughter, My whole childhood and teen memories was filled with so many people who randomly comes and go, I may not understand every corners of my destiny but episode of growing up is a learning process, a reason to be tough and yearn for better life…
It was only when I graduated college and finally decided to travel abroad I felt I have a family, a mom who truly cares for me, The feeling is unexplainable, there was a doubt, pain and hatred but when I turned the table and see my kids growing up, I fully understand her, I have become the person I am today because of her sacrifices, She gave her life to us even if it takes a gap between us
I’m writing this because last night upon receiving a call about the sudden death of my friend’s mom I was in pain and helpless as I am miles away not able to be with my friend, there is nothing more painful than seeing your mom lifeless
Mothers are special gift from God, We can always choose a friend but we can never choose our mom, we do not understand them in many ways but somehow in time we realized that what they want is just what’s best for us….
My condolences to the family of my Best friend Vince Misa, Be strong, I know your mom is happy to be with our creator now… so hang in there and keep the happy memories of your mom in your heart....
