Mother's Day Celebration

They are the first woman in our lives.They are the first woman who loves us unconditionally. They may not be perfect but we still consider them as the best mother in the whole world. Our lives will not be complete without them. They have showered us with constant love, care, guidance and have done so many sacrifices for us to become whatever we are right now. We owe a lot to them but they are not asking something in return from us but our respect and to show our love to them too. We may have different mothers but God has given the best MOM for us.

I can still recall when I was younger how my Nanay:
- wake me up in the morning and say "Toto, bugtaw na kay makaon na"
- iron my uniform the night before I go to school
- go to market and bring us home wth goodies
- cook the food for us and she will not eat until we are finished.
- go to school to support whatever activities that I have
- defend me when my father got angry to me
- take care all of us '9' without favoritism
- make my projects in school even she is pregnant
 If I can only enumerate all the things she have done to us this blog page would not be enough.

To all the Mothers especially to our NANAY Alice,

Happy Happy Mother's Day!!

We really appreciate you for being there everytime we need you, thank you for everything and WE LOVE YOU so much.
