To
the years of constant blessings,
 |
| Thanking God for another year in my life |
She
considers herself lucky enough to be surrounded by genuine people who never
left her when the sun shows up. Her husband is her good sight example of a
hardworking parent. She admires how his husband is willing to do anything just
to support the family. He works diligently and decently as a researcher, book
writer, online buy and sell, business consultant and anything else he could
think of that requires his wit and talent. She also wakes up every morning
knowing how blessed she is for having their two sons —their motivation and one
of the reasons why they wanted to be better people. Her sons who calls her
“Nanay” are all well-loved and everything they need is always met and provided.
She always looks forward to giving their sons the comfort of home and that they
are free to grow and discover themselves.
She
too is a hardworking woman who wanted to take every opportunity that is served
on her table. She does their daily online schooling, serves them the best food,
she does house cleaning, laundry, and anything to make their home a better
place. Most of the time, everything leads to exhaustion but she knows it’s all
worth it. She is still eager to do the same routine every day if that would
mean, giving her family the light feeling of safety and love. She made sure
that her kids are raised with good manners and impart them Christian values.
Somehow she knew that being a mother is her calling for she’s raising kids for
the Kingdom of Heaven. She makes sure that her kids know what’s right and
what’s wrong, that they can sympathize, feel things freely, explore their
growth, treat people with kindness and humility using the guidance and fear of
God.

| Thankful to God |
For her, they are her definition of receiving the best gift of life —her all-out fun, and loving family. Just by looking at them, she knew it’s all worth the fight and exhaustion. She knew that her heart is so full of love that she’ll never run out of it when it comes to her family. They are her definition of immeasurable happiness that no amount of luxury in this world could ever trade for. Her birthday wish will always fall towards her family’s sake. That they will continue to grow in harmony and have God in the center of everything that they do. She knew that there are more challenges in the future but she knew they could make it together as long as they’ll remain as a team. Every day she received her gift through her family and she’s always thankful for that.
There’s
no such thing as perfect life for the perfect life is boring. What she had is a
life filled with newly discovered riches through experiences, memories of
watching how they grow at the same pace, and hearing the noise inside a home
that represents unconditional love. More so, she’s thankful for another year
because it all means she’s here for a reason and a purpose.
