moments of colours

    Moms are blessings!

    We call our mothers with different names: Mama, Mommy, Mom, Momsie, Moykie, etc. and other terms of endearment. No matter what we call her, aren’t you glad they’re there?

    Yesterday, was our mom’s birthday. We fondly call her “Inay”. She just turned 76. To celebrate her special day, besides the phone greetings from her children, children-in-law and grandchildren and some text messages as well, we had the following for dinner: Max’s fried chicken, her favorite “lumpiang ubod” and coleslow, “pansit” from the neighbor (who also celebrated her birthday yesterday  :razz: ), rice and H2O without the rocks!  :wink:Â

    Its a great feeling to see her smile, with her silver gray hair. She had met many of lifes’ ups and downs with her strong faith in God, a devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary (who’s a terrific Mom to us and the world!)  and her love for her family. She’s still feeling the loss of her lifetime partner, but we know she’s coping. Through her examples and words of wisdom, she opens our eyes and hearts to welcome life and accept it the way it is…

    If your mom lives with you, give her a hug and/or a kiss. Tell her “I love you” and how much she is a blessing in your life. If she’s far, why not give her a call or send her a text message… Hope you get to feel the same way I had yesterday, seeing her smile.  :wink:Â
