Wherever You Are Now...

I warn you, malungkot tong post ko na ito.

But if you're a mother and you have a mother, read on.

I vividly remember the memories, even it happened 17 years ago.

I was sitting in a rocking chair that she used to sit and sing lullabies for us.

I was waiting for my 3 siblings to arrive from school.

I was waiting for them to hear the saddest news I have ever conveyed to three young kids, ages 15, 12 and 7.

"She's gone. She's gone now."

After 10 years that I was gone, travelling from different places and different countries,

nakauwi din ako. Me and my wife scheduled a time na bisitahin ang malamig and napakalungkot na lugar where my Mom was buried.

My cute and kikay sister painted Mom's tomb with color "Yellow" saying she was touched by the death of Cory and the yellow color that the late president and heroine will be always remembered. So don't wonder if it's colored yellow. :)

Our Mom is also our hero, infact, more than a hero, she is the best mother in this world...for us, her sons and daughter.

I was crying when we get there, and my loving wife hugged me and tapped me at the back. I cannot contain the heaviness that I was feeling deep within my heart, and the disappointments over the many dreams I have for her that was not realize. And oh, the happiness and joy we are experiencing now, and wished she too would have experience the same.

I cannot deny that my mind and my heart was still feeling hurt with what happened nearly 18 years ago, despite of the assurances that we will be together again one day, because I have just simple, and oh, it was only a simple dream for my mother, and I couldn't realize them now.

I just want her to have a little comfort in life, go shop to the malls and buy her favorite dress or shoe, dine out with her with my small family, cook her favorite foods with the comfort of technologies and appliances, and have her attend to her garden and orchids in the front yard.

Just that. Just that.

Today is her birthday, she is 58th years old now.

Happy happy Birthday!

Wherever you are, I terribly miss you, Mom. And I know you are happier now, but I am still hoping some many many years to come, we will be able to shop, dine, and play at your garden...

there....

in Heaven.

None of Us Will Be Here - If Not Because of You

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL MOTHERS, at sa lahat ng may Nanay.

My Mom and I

By : Mr. Thoughtskoto

July, 1999, Written While Serving as a Lay Volunteer at Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental

(this poem was an official entry to the International

NEW Magazine Writing Contest, 1999)

You feed my soul

And let me grow

Tender hands

Voice that soothes my ears

Lay me down

Help me stand

Hold me up

Then let me go…

The years pass by…

I am feeding you now

Still growing

Rough hands

Words that command love and respect

Lay you down in your bed

Help you stand with your cane

Hold you up that you'll not fall

You are gone now… but

The years will never end…

for us...

Inspired ng alaala ng 16 years old pa lang ako, at nakaratay ang aking pinakamamahal na ina sa ospital, at ako ang nag-aalaga sa kanya. Ginawa ko na ngang bahay ang ospital. Stricken with breast cancer, and the lack of medicine and financial support, she was not able to recover after several chemotherapies. 

I have one biological mother, pero daan ang nakilala kong nanay at mama na nagmahal sakin ng lubos at tinuring nilang tunay na anak. A few goodness here and there from these great and kind mothers who influenced my life to be who I am now. 

Wala tayo dito sa mundong ito without the mothers. Think about it for just a moment. 

Sige nga, isipin mo nga yan kahit sandali. 

Wala ka rito kundi dahil sa nanay mo! 

In short, anak ka ng nanay mo!hehe

Happy Mothers Day po sa lahat-lahat ng mga Nanay at magiging nanay, at sa mga may nanay! I guess that covers all. :-)

At syempre happy mothers day sa pinakamamahal ko, ang nagiisang Mrs. Thoughtskoto. You have been wonderful, affable, lovely and kind...hehehe, chocolates and roses and a date...bukas sa Dharan mall. 

May pwede bang magbabysit na blogger? Haha
