Mom's Tough Love
My mom isn't my bestest friend. I do not confide all my problems to her. I don't run to her as much as I want to. I don't update her on my daily dues. She isn't my diary. We never had this one on one talks. But that doesn't mean I don't trust or love her enough. i love her more than travelling to the moon and back. She is my knight. She is my warrior. She is my teacher. She is my inspiration. She is my supermom.
I came to their life in her mid 40's giving everyone a surprise how she gave birth in her nearly-golden age. They all thought I was a so-called 'menopause baby'. (hehe). Truth is, she did not gave birth to me. I was given to them, but that's another story to tell. And, let's just keep that in history. And since that day I was given to them, they never failed to take care of me not even a mosquito can touch my skin. She worked hard to give me a good education. Can you believe that I was the only one among her children that was sent to private school my entire schooling years? And despite her retirement when I was in highschool, she was able to sent me to college and as a return, I finished and had my degree two years ago.
My mom is the most amazing. She loved me unconditionally. She raised me well and all of who I am now and where I am at is because of her and the family she gave me. I don't need anymore to look for my biological mom. She may not be able to provide my wants, she was fully able to provide my needs and everything she knew I deserve having.
She is the best teacher. She taught me everything I know about life. She taught be to about humanity and being the real me. She taught me to spread my wings and fly. Her words are the greatest teachings I'll forever live by. If it weren't because of her, I would not know the mysteries of life.
Maybe I am not the kindest and sweetest daughter. As a matter of fact, we were not that close like all other mother and daughter. Age difference, I guess. I grow up in her golden age and older. And maybe because of thet, I thought she won't get to understand what a teenage me is going through. But that doesn't mean I don't love her. I may not confide to her about my love problems but I make sure she has a say in everything I do. I guess the only thing she can't handle me right now is how I keep on travelling from place to place (hehe). I may be stubborn and not maybe the same kid she used to love, I know she's proud of me and she loves me no matter what.
Above all, mom is my mentor. She's everything I idolized about being a mom. Perhaps my sisters were also a good mother entirely because of her. And when I have my own family in the near future, I will do the same efforts she had for us six.
And Happy Mother's Day to all moms and expectant mothers out there! Hats off to you all!

Mom, I'm not the greatest daughter. But if there is one thing I would never ever do, that's leaving you. I may not always give you expensive things you wish for, I certainly would give you all the love and care that you deserve, especially now at your age. I love you to the moon and back and more than that. I love you all my life. And everyday, I thank God for giving you as my mom. He certainly know everything that's why he knew it's you that I need. Thank you, ma. Happy mother's day.
And Happy Mother's Day to all moms and expectant mothers out there! Hats off to you all!
