My mother - She bore 8 children in her womb, one at a time of course. She raised us to be God fearing, simple and hard working individuals. I couldn't imagine how she did it. My mother and father gone through a lot of hardships in life. She made a lot of sacrifices for the family. Finally now that we are all adults having our lives, (some are mothers now), we can't help but to think of the times how our life used to be. During the time when the family struggled to survive. My mother kept us together through this difficulty. She is like a mother goose to us, where everyone was under her wings during rains so we won't get wet during too much heat of the sun so that we will not get burn or scorch. Oopsies, my mother was not a saint or neither a nobel prize winner and definitely not a goose looking woman. She didn't have such power to zap everything in her magic wand or fingers. She was not as strong as superwoman. She was just a simple woman. She was just there when we need comforting words brought about by the wrong decisions we made. She was just there when we were happy because of the achievement we got from school/work or a peso that we found on the road. She was no saint or a nobel prize winner, but her name, her face, her touch, her care, her love and warmth stayed in our hearts forever. Now that my parents are both gone, we regret the time that we had been too stubborn and we fought back with them. We regret the time that we never had to say how much we loved and cared for them specially to our mother. Now tears still fall every time we remember our mother's effort to raised 8 children, 8 children with different personalities and traits. HOw she raised 8 children without complaints no matter what gravity of the hurts and pains we have given her? HOw she raised us to be who we are now? They say you can have as many friends as you can... as many lovers as you wish to, but you will only have mother.
