Unconditionally

Just in case you have been busy for the last couple of days, today is Mothers day.

If you have no idea of what to write about, try to write something about your mother.

I have already made several posts about my mother even if it is not mother’s day. And if you have been reading those posts you will notice that I always regard her as a disciplinarian.

The love of a mother is a love of a mother

Perhaps you are aware of the video of a journalist from a local TV broadcasting that went viral on social media a week ago.

The news reporter was doing a live report along the pavement when a homeless woman went near her and caressed her lovingly as if the lady was her daughter. The news reporter did not show any awkward moment and just let the homeless woman do what she wanted to do like hugging her and savoring the scent of the news reporter’s perfume.

Just in case you haven’t seen the viral video you can check it here.

The video was only 1 minute and 39 seconds long and it has already had more than 6 million views after it was uploaded on April 9.

While watching the video I was amazed by the professionalism of the news reporter. I didn’t see any signs of rejection from her. She just let the homeless in, who appears to be harmless. After watching the short video I felt guilt inside me. Then I scroll down and read the reactions from the viewer. Most of the comments are praising the lady reporter for her act of kindness and professionalism. Indeed she is an inspiration. There were people who seemingly didn't appreciate what the lady did.

In reality homeless people are not really nice to look at in physical appearance. Then the odor is kind of unpleasant because of not having good hygiene. In short, other people judge them for how they appear to be.

After that incident, the team went on a rescue mission the next day. They search for the homeless woman in the video. Fortunately they found her and were able to talk to her. Good thing the woman was still sane enough despite the starvation she had been through on the street. The woman told the team about her sisters and she was able to reunite with her. They found out that the woman went to Manila to look for a job two years ago. Unfortunately she was unlucky and ended up wandering as homeless in the streets.

According to her sister, she left her only child in Mindanao to work in Manila but later she had engaged in some friends who were doing drugs.

The local government is now arranging the papers so that she can go back home and reunite with her child. But first they have to send her to an institution that takes care of homeless people.

The video was posted about a week ago and one thing that captured my attention was the way the women treated the lady reporter. She was hugging the reporter as though she was her daughter. I was thinking that maybe her child is a girl and that she misses her for a long time. Then upon seeing the lady reporter she showed her how she misses her child.

We just witnessed an act of unconditional love. I mean the video shows it all.

No words spoken.

It is what it is and is real.

Happy Mother's Day!
