Suddened Death of My Cousin And Mother"s Day!

2 days ago

Happy Mother's Day everyone! For me , I am not that happy as happy before to celebrate this when my mother, grandmothers were still alive. It's not the same having no mother to run to. All three Nanays were gone and we just celebrated the first year anniversary last May 8. And the most painful things lately was that sad suddened death of my cousin, the niece of my grandmother. She was too physically healthy looking her appearance. She was not fat and no sign of having a hypertension. It happenened May 6, 2025 and May 8,2025 was her Aunt, my grandmother's first death anniversary.

In just one blinked of the eyes, infront of her family, she fall down. Rushed to the nearest hospital and transferred to the private one to have the best care but money and doctors had nothing to do, when God had planned for this to her borrowed life.

She is younger than me and we had a lot of planned to visit their home when I visit Philippines. We were not living in the same place and we only met sometimes during the birthday of my Aunt last 2022. She was a nice simple and God fearing individual. What a good things happened that her 3 daughters are already graduated and have works. Although, she could've enjoy the fruit of her sacrifices for her children but I know how happy she was in her accomplishment in her best upbringing her children. I know it is not easy for her children to accept today that this is the first mother's day celebration without the physical presence of their mother and was just brought to her graveyard yesterday. They are all still single who planned many things to give to their mother.

I felt the pain inside but we are just here to comfort the girls. They raised by my cousin wise and smart. I just hope and pray that they can accept it easily that all of us will return in the hands of God.

I am so happy for the Pasig government for their great support to my cousin. Their children were all academic scholar until graduated and my cousin was also using the Oasis Memorial Chapel Sto. Thomas for three days and night before the burial.

My mothers day celebration is sentimental today remembering all my family but still happy for my sisters and Aunts , cousin ,my daughter-in-law and me who are still alive aiming to help our children until now.

I am grateful to God that I am still alive, a single mother who raised my son for a very long time alone. Thanks God for the strength you give me and the love and guidance. Being a mother is not easy most especially that I live away from my son. Loneliness are always in front of me. You can see me smiling infringe of my camera but try to stare on my eyes, read my mind and you can define me the real feelings deep inside. I can't deny the truth beyond my nerves but I am happy that God makes me stronger every weakness I felt deep inside of me.

Happy Mothers Day to all Women and wife of all my co-hivers in this platform. God bless us always.

I am so emotional right now. Many things playing my mind but I am strong because you are here as my inspiration.
