Rest in Peace Mom
Thank you so much mom for everything that you've done for me and everything that you've taught me. I can still remember the times when you would get mad at me for coming home late, the times when I would wake up sick and you'd take care of me before you had to go to work, the times when we would joke around and laugh, the times when we would share and cry ... I remember the times when you were here with us.
Part of me wishes I could go back to when I held your hand through the whole night when you were in the hospital ... but I know that the suffering for you and the pain is over now. During those times when I stayed with you, I can remember praying and hoping for a miracle that He might have for you, at the same time I just wanted your pain to go away and for you to be able to rest.
Everytime someone comes to me and says condolences or tells me that they are sorry for the loss, I tell them that you are in a better place, I tell them that you aren't suffering anymore. So I asked myself, why is it that I cry, why is it that I am crying from losing you ... it's because you are missed deeply. I will miss everything about you and everything that I took for granted. I will miss our simple goodbyes and hello's, our sharings of past experiences in the Philippines, I will miss the greatest mom that you are.
Everytime I want to say goodbye to you mom I always end up saying something else, just like when we would part ways in the hospital. Sige mom, I'm going to go now, but I'll see you soon, don't worry about Daddy, we'll take care of him. Nandito ako mom, hindi ko mag a-alis. Mahal ko kita Mom and I'll see you soon.
