Happy Birthday!

It has been a long time since I really celebrated my dearly departed mother's birthday. I filed for a leave in advance for this day. It's her 56th birthday.

This is a day to commemorate her undying passion for motherhood. For those who don't know, my mom died when I was in Junior High School (it was February 2001 to be exact). It has always been like yesterday that I last saw her. I really miss her. When she left me, I hugged her tight thinking that this is the last chance to feel her warmth and to see her face.

I guess when shit happens the only thing you can do is to move forward and just keep the memories to yourself and remember the things that were. I hope she's happy wherever she is because I am. I finally fulfilled her dreams for me to finish and find a decent job. I know I am still a work in progress but eventually I'll reach my goal.

Going back to the celebration, I had a hard time thinking what to have for her birthday. They told me to have at least something that she would really like. I remembered she like cakes. Since it was raining, I just ordered a regular chocolate cake in Red Ribbon for delivery. It's good they offer such service already. Aside from the cake, I called Pizza Hut to deliver a Cheesy Pops 'N Dip Feast 2. We enjoyed the food and everything. We sang Happy Birthday just rejoicing for the day that she was born. I am so thankful that she is my mom and I hope that I did not fail her as a son.

Happy Birthday to the Greatest Mom!

Jomar, naiiyak ako, I miss Millie and yaya so much. I know it has been hard for you, but I know your mom is looking down at you saying" Napakaswerte ko na si Jomar ang naging anak ko." Millie will always be part of our family, she has been there for us when we really needed her. As for you keep up the good work. Stay strong and follow your dreams. The stars are not far away from you, so just keeping reaching and you'll get there. Pag umuwi ako sa manila I will call you para ma-meet mo naman yung family ok! Till then take care =)
