HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MAMA MARY

Happy Mother's Day to the greatest mother in the world, Mama Mary.

I miss my mom. For the longest time I had not been able to greet her on Mother's Day since the day she went back to her Creator several years ago. That was the saddest day of my life. I lost not only a mom but a best friend, sister and confidante as well. I miss having her around.

I cannot deny that I envy those who still have their mothers with them. You are very fortunate they are still part of your lives. Shower them with love while you still have the chance. Tell them you love them everyday before it's too late. Never leave room for regrets.

I have been blessed that somehow the vacuum that was created when my mom died had been filled up with Mama Mary's loving presence. She has always been there, guiding and helping me traverse the lowest points in my life. Even though she is a mother to the whole of mankind, still she finds time to listen to my pleas. I guess I'm kinda spoiled because I am aware that even though what I request for is probably wrong, still she gives it to me just so she could dry away my tears. That maybe too profound for people to understand because that is just between the two of us.

So far I have not heard anyone greet her this Mother's Day. Even at the anticipated mass this evening, the priest paid tribute to all the mothers present but failed to acknowedge Mama Mary. This saddened me. I know she really wouldn't mind because she has such a big and forgiving heart. But I do.

To Mama Mary, I may not be the best daughter in the world, but I know you love me just the same inspite of my faults. And once again on Sunday, you will be receiving the blue rose that I traditionally give you every Mother's Day and on your birthday as well. I know it doesn't cost much compared to all you have done for me, but it is my small way of thanking you for being my inspiration and for showering me with so much love. Thank you for always being there for me, giving me your shoulder to cry on and instilling in me so much compassion for others. Thank you for granting most of my requests and most especially for the unconditional love that you unselfishly give.

I will never ever forget you.

Happy Mother's Day.

I love you so much.
