I Lost A Mother Again :(

At the age of 11, I lost my dearly biological mom caused by Aneurysm. I can't tell in one word how hard it  was growing up without her. In an early age I experienced all the responsibility of being a mother to my youngest sister whose only 8 months old and my 2 youngest siblings at that time. My father re-married again after a year. My  life with my younger siblings was like  a Cinderella Story  ending up to have a  wicked step-mother. 

My Mom and Dad Wedding. I had this since high school after saving it from the big typhoon that hits down our house.  I am the only one who has it in my family. My hubby and I will bring it to the photo center for reprocessing and have it frame because he wanted to give it as a surprise gift to my  my siblings.

Since then I always yearning for a mother's  love and affection that I found when I met  mommy Betty. In a short period of time she filled that part. I never thought that she will left me soon too. She went to bed at 12 midnight   and gone at 1:00am Thursday April 22, 2010 of  "Massive heart attack..  In the brighter side, I felt so lucky to have a wonderful  and  so loving mother in law like her that I never had. I remembered the time she saw me getting ready for our wedding. She was crying, and crying it seems that I am her own daughter. This is just some of unforgettable memories with Mommy. In more than 2 years that I've known her, I had a lot of memories to cherish for the rest of my life. 

In this photo. She was still in tears...tears of happiness for having me as her daughter in law she told my hubby that makes me so flattered about.

Even in the last few days of her life, Mom always thinking of my daughter and me. She bought  a stuffed puppy animal ( for my daughter) and a penguin figurine (for me) . She knows that I do  love penguins. She told me about this surprise  when we talked last week. Mom thank you for this, you know that I will cherish it. Thank you Mommy for everything especially for loving me and my daughter like your own.

Mommy's last  gift to me that she suppose to give this coming mothers day. It's not going to happen now.

 

Today is mom's wake. For sure it is a long day for all of us, the very last time that we all going to see her. Monday is the funeral and that's it. Tell we see each other again someday Mommy. You know how much I love you and the rest of the family. You'll always be remembered and loved for the rest of our lives. 

My words to all. Cherish the people around you especially your  wife/hubby and family.   "Life is too short". Tell them that you love them not only in action but also in word. Sometimes they love to hear it more than just to show it. Give your family a hug, kiss and tell them that you love them before it's too late because you'll never know...It happened to my hubby, he didn't get to talk to Mommy since we came from the Cruise though I always remind him to call her. Regrets? yes he has it but it's too late now. 

Have a Blessed  and Safe Weekend In Advance To All! I  Love You  All!!!!
