“Tandaan mo anak, gusto ko lang ng mkakabuti sa’yo. Magsilbi ka sanang huwaran sa mga kapatid mo. May tiwala ako sa’yo.”
These strong words keep running in my mind every time I sleep. She serves as my inspiration and also my idol, my one and only mother. She is not so strict like others but she keeps on giving us reminders. I love the way she talks to us whenever we have mistakes. She is happy to be with, making everyone laughs.
In every obstacle she was there to support me. Some people say that I am lucky because my mother is brave to try everything that can give us a good future. Whenever I am away, I miss her cook foods that she serves for us. For me, she is the master chef in the whole world. Even if it is hard to live nowadays, she decided to sacrifice her work just to give us the great care we need.
God said: “When I made the woman, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity for her children under any and all circumstances.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strength and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart-the place where love resides.”
When I am in fourth year, every time I have an entrance exam, she goes to Quiapo because she was a devotee of Black Nazarene and all the things that I used in the exams were blessed there. With faith in God, I passed the entire admission test that I take including UPCAT. Also she prays to God to gives me strength to pass the SM Foundation test and again, I did it. Prayers and faith is our way to achieve our goal.
I wish to be like her. She gives all the love and care that a best mom can give. I will never regret that God gives me a woman full of traits which can make our family enjoy life even we are not rich enough.
All I can say is I love you mom! No words can define how much you meant to me. You’re the best, my one and only mother Mrs. Esperanza S. de Cadiz. |
