A Li’l Tribute to Mom (and Dad, too) …

Ma & Da

Ma & Da

“The most important thing that a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” — Theodore M. Hesburgh

Very short, very profound but filled with pearls of wisdom…

If the above quote was so, I can only thank DAD for having done that…

Thank you Dad for setting a great example to my brother on how he should likewise treat all the women in his life — our mom, us his sisters, his wife, and his daughter, if God will bless them with one… Ditto with all of his other women friends and acquaintances, or should I rather say, with women in general…

Thank you also Dad for impressing on us, your daughters, on what and how much we should expect from and what and how much we have to put up with the men in our lives… These lessons are truly priceless…

And thank you Dad for having showed Mom how much you love her… And THANK YOU MOM for loving Dad back as much… Yours was a genuine demonstration of a wonderful partnership, filled with unconditional love, mutual respect and deep affection for one another…

MOM, even if Dad is no longer physically around to partner with you as you continue with life’s journey, your continuous expression of your intangible gift of love, to Dad and to us, your children, and now extended to your grandkids, has inspired us to manifest the same to our respective families and to all of the people around us… It has also provided us with the emotional stability to help us face the harshness of life with courage and faith, and encourage us to make better life choices…

Again, thank you Mom and Dad for the best gift of love that you have given us…

Happy Mother’s Day MOM (on May 10th) … LHKM… We love you 8!..

Mom, remember this song, SA UGOY NG DUYAN?..

Sana’y di nagmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako’y nasa duyan

Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko’y tala, ang tanod ko’y bituin
Sa piling ni nanay, langit ay buhay
Puso kong may dusa sabik sa ugoy ng duyan…

Miss you heaps, MOM!.. Uwi ka na, hug mo ako, yung tight na tight ha… :-)
