#RememberingMama Whenever I come home, kahit na alam nyang galing ako sa kainan, she would always ask: “Kumain ka na ba?” (at San Felipe Neri Parish - Mandaluyong City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B88aHmIHRpc/?igshid=1ksqm08m4oaun

Good morning! May love, peace, protection, gratitude, enough, now, grace and mercy reside with you today. Be intentional about sharing the priceless gift of a kind and sincere word with someone today. Be or stay encouraged! One of the many ways that I honor my Mother's life and legacy is to keep going and growing, while being intentional about self-care and "living my best life". I'm standing on your ancestral shoulders now, which strengthens me daily. Whatever you are going or growing through, keep going. My Mother did until her earthly assignment was completed. #fctalk #freedomclay #inspirationalmessage #igetitfrommymama #rememberingmama #legendaryancestor #keepgoing #fromthevault https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lXaVJBgfG/?igshid=wmubqzlwza87

Purpose.People.Prayer (October 2008)

Purpose. To all of us, Mama is a symbol of strength, will power and well-grounded faith. For the longest time, she never shared a drop of weakness or complaint, but instead a big smile and a source of inspiration. We can truly say that mama served her purpose as a WIFE, MOTHER, TITA, GRANDMOTHER, OFFICEMATE, NURSE, BARKADA, and a FRIEND to all.

People. In behalf of the family, my father Dodong, my brothers especially Ar-j. . . THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH for STANDING BY with MAMA and for sharing your GENEROSITY, COMPASSION, and LOVE. From the Brothers & Sisters, all her relatives, Nephews & Nieces, Granddaughters and Grandsons, officemates, brothers and sisters of the religious community, classmates & batchmates, friends and her friendships, papa’s brother of the work, batch ’71, barkada and friends, my officemates in Metrobank and ABS-CBN, batchmates & friends, my brothers’ friends and to all of you for keeping mama in your prayers.

Prayer. The greatest wealth mama has is the offered prayers and the love from the people that surrounds her. Keep MAMA in your prayers.

In ending, sharing to you a piece written by Cheryl Van Gieson:

MAMA, as I Have Grown, So Have My Appreciation And Love For You (originally written as MOM)

“Time flies,” everyone says. It’s frightening sometimes To look in the mirror and see The evidence of that. So often, we don’t take a moment To say what’s in our hearts, And then, when it’s too late, We wish we had. I’m taking a moment now, Mama, To tell you this. . . When I was a child, there was So much I couldn’t understand, Like how hard you worked And how much you sacrificed For our family. There were dreams you had To put on hold And dreams that never came true.

You must have felt frustrated Sometimes, no doubt, And at times even full of despair, Yet you never gave less Than your best to us. You didn’t have an exciting career Or beautiful clothes. You never traveled the world Or drove a fancy car. Every day, you looked after us, Worried about us, fed us, And loved us, Without expecting anything In return. You see, Mama, I know now And understand That you actually gave me two lives: My own . . and yours.

It took me a while and it wasn't easy to get myself to take out the envolop with these documents. . Here I am almost a year after my mom joined our Creator going through the Tax Declarations, Estate Tax forms, and Land Titles so I can start settling this year's "amilyar". . I still can't believe that it's almost a year now since I said goodbye to you Mama. Looking at the land titles and not seeing your name on them is really heart breaking. . Going thru the files I saw your old IDs and once again I saw your smiling face full of life and joy. . Now more than ever I know I'm in the right industry because I know how it feels to lose someone I love and the struggle to continue moving forward. . Thank you Mama. I'm sorry if I wasn't able to give you the life you deserve but I am working very hard to achieve the dreams we both shared for our family. . . . . #RememberingMama #ILoveYouMom #TilWeMeetAgain (at Deato Compound)
