Sporting Madear’s eBay purchase 
Twenty nine years ago, a woman gave birth to me. That very young woman, at a very tender age of 19, gave all the love and affection to a very helpless child. The child who later took all the love she gave for granted. The patience and understanding that she showed me and my siblings I thought were expected of all mothers.
I remember all the times she had to constantly remind me of the things I needed to do. The household chores which seemed never ending! Her ceaseless reminders on how I should do things; things which most times get under my skin! I thought mothers do it as their duty to constantly reinforce the chores they wanted to have repeatedly done. I didn’t realize that she kept reminding me so that I could be the best person possible!
A big grin for the camera!
One of the most beautiful gifts that she gave me was not of material value. Apart from the gift of life, she taught me how to love the Lord and to glorify His name for each and every blessing He bestows on me.

Now that Mother Dearest, you are another year older but still single (haha!), I appreciate with much greater understanding for all the guidance and love that I so often took for granted. I will always be grateful for the love, care and attention which you molded me into being the person that I am today. With pride, I can say that I owe everything to YOU!
I know that it wasn’t an easy journey. Life has been difficult and unpredictable. I thank you for being so resilient… for being the wife and mother that you are!
I am ever so grateful for all the sacrifices you’ve had to endure for our family and the love you showered for all and for all the things that you continue to do, Mother Dearest I want you to know that I am most fortunate to have a mother like you!
I am so proud to be your daughter!
Happy Birthday, Mang!
Love Yah!

Shhhhhh!
I have to answer in English. Uncle Che has been complaining. We have been speaking in dialect he has a hard time comprehending everything.
Now I wonder how a COMELEC employee was hired not knowing how to do the Math?

happy birthday Mama!
(sniff sniff sniff)
i missed my mama tuloy.
i can tell how beautiful your relationship is towards each other sis. u are both blessed t have each other. i hope God will bless her with someone who can be beside her forever. she’s still young u know. but at the end of the day, a woman like her who have achieved so much in life doesn’t really need someone nga makapalipay sa iya. God knows what’s best for her and I’m sure He will grant your mom’s heart’s desire in time. God bless her more. and more!

Thanks Sis!
Gosh! Her birthday bash is officially over! I am dead tired!
Indeed, I am more than blessed to have her for a mother, Sis. She wasn’t given the opportunity to be loved by her own mother because her mother died when she was just 2 years old. So I really am very lucky!
I just hope she could find someone man enough who’s willing to stand by her, in God’s time and His own way…
Amen!

Happy Birthday to your mother indeed.
It is very evident she did a great job in raising you because of how great of a person you are. I know I speak for many when I say that I’m glad to be a blogger friend of yours for the great person you truly are.
And I agree with Bill about you looking very beautiful in that bottom picture with your mom!:)
Thanks for sharing my dear friend!;):)

belated happy birthday to your Mang! I’m so touched with your post, that’s true we thought that they just do it because all that were expected of all mothers. Sabi nga nila, as you grow older we’ll come to realize that they do it because they love us. Sis you too look very lovely on your pic on your way to midweek worship service, like sisters
you both deserve each other, take care sis and belated blogsversary on Lainy’s Musings!

Happy Birthday to your Mother – she sounds like a lovely and remarkable lady. Her birthday is near to mine so I will pass on an English toast to her.
“May your future be golden, your skies be blue, your luck be abundant, your wisdom true, your fortune be good health, your happiness plenty – a life of longevity is my wish for you!”
