A Blog Entry on Mother’s Day
06 May 2011 Leave a Comment
My mom knew very well that I love speaking in English, that is why it amazes me so much when she deliberately speaks English to all of us in our house, including our dog. I’ve never known anybody as great as mom. And in the future, I wish to be like her.
Mom was born Violeta Castro Ocampo on the suburbs of Tondo, Manila on April 22, 1950. Yes, that would make her 61 to this day! I won’t go through how she grew up as a kid or as a teenager, as you wouldn’t be very much interested in that. But I was, when she told me, and I’ve always dreamed of seeing their family portraits (which were all damaged or gone because of floods that went through that house) and looking awed as our aunts faces looked so young in it. My mom said she had all my grandma’s features, from an almost-as-porcelain-white skin to the way they smile or laugh. I guess if my grandma was alive right now, my mom would have done the same blog entry for her, too!
So, enough ramblings. My mom is the best mom in the world! (Nah, I’m being prejudiced) She can give you just about the best advice you can get in a troublesome situation and think after that, yeah, I guess she’s right (or she IS right, hot diggidy dog!). She’s even better speaking in English than I’ll ever be after two or so years. She’s absolutely amazing, I can’t even think of anything else to write.
One thing is for sure, though. I’ll ALWAYS love my mom, and I’ll never make her sad. I’ll be by her side when she needs me and I’m sure God meant for us to be mother-daughter because He knew we’re a perfect match (together with my siblings, of course!) HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MAMA and to all the other moms, mama, nanay, nay, inang, nang, ina, naynay, mader, mudra, mamita, mamang, mother in the world! GOD BLESS YOU!
