LUCKY Mae!

LUCKY. That’s the only word I could describe myself as her daughter.

She is my life, my idol. She never failed to make me feel how important I am as her first born baby.

I remember when the time she first knew that I already have a boyfriend; she talked to me while crying. I do not know the meaning of her tears, until I and my boyfriend broke off. She told me that I was too young to enter into that kind of relationship. She reminded me that sending me to school and giving me their full support on my chosen course is their responsibility as my parents so I must do my part as their daughter too.

“Study first,” she said.

“Dawa pagkatapos mo umagom ka tulos bahala ka basta tumapos ka muna,” she added.

Those words were left indelibly on my mind.

Though I gave her lots of frustrations and disappointments, she never stopped reminding me with her wisdom and encouragements to pursue what I want.

"You are big enough. You already know what is right and what is wrong."

Now its my turn to give back what you had given me. I love you ma, mudrax, inang mader!

Thank you so much for everything. I fail you trice, I swear I wont do those stupid things again. I'll finish what I had started. Thank you for the unlimited trust and love!
