Tribute to Moms Back in 2015, before I worked for Belo, I was a pediatric resident at St. Luke’s Global, for about a year.
My favorite rotation then, was the nursery. Our task was plain and simple, catch newborn babies, and check them serially until they were discharged. I enjoyed it so much, probably because the babies were undeniably so adorable and heavenly. Every time, they were passed on to us by the obstetrician, it was like a Simba (the cute little lion cub king) moment, with the Circle of Life playing as background music. Apart from that, what was special about that rotation, was I get to appreciate my parents more, most especially my mom. Whenever, I would come to the delivery room, I regarded the moms as the star of the show. Imagine, carrying the baby for nine months, and making sure that the baby would be delivered well and healthy. Not to mention, the effort and difficulty, they have to go through, with labor and the actual birth. I had nothing but admiration and applause. It was just the purest form of love, coming before my eyes. In fact, I most often had the urge of checking on my mom, as my way of making her feel how grateful I am, she gave birth to me. Impossible as it may seem, I just wish a lot of people may get that chance to experience that moment. It’s a great opportunity, that we have this day to celebrate. So for all the moms out there, I salute you, and pray that you’ll all be safe during these tough times. To Mommy, I love you so much, and thank you very much.
