Post Birthday Celebration :

After a long exhausted busy week. My family decided to have a simple celebration of Mama's 68th birthday. We cooked food and dine out together with them. It's a rainy lazy Saturday night. I'm not that happy enough but still I need to be myself. Seeing them busy preparing for the food ignite my inner core ♥️

So here are the food we'll gonna eay later :

🍲 Porkchop

🍲Spaghetti

🍲Grilled pork

🍲 Grilled fish

Papa also bought drinks ( san meg) for the adult and soft drinks for kids. I left home and went immediately to the restaurant to book a table for us. 1 slot left and I know Mama love that set up even if shes kinda introvert type of person. I bought a cake also🎂 As I arrived there, I asked their menu and place my order. So here it is:

🍲 Butter Chicken

🍲Pancit Lauriat

🍲Pork Sisig

🍲Calamares

🍲Buffalo Chicken

🍲Sweet and sour Chicken

🍲Sweet and sour pork

And to sum it up, a four season tower is added. Waited for about 30 mins and the food is now ready to served.

As I can see the face of everybody I know that their happy.

After we ate. I grab the chance to talk with my father asking him these things :

Pa, are you happy? Yes of course, he answered. Especially seeing you all today and with my grandchildren. I could not ask for more, he added. My heart melt as he expressed his emotions that he kept in his heart.

Do you have any regrets pa? If only before we had enough money or let's say a bit of I am financially Stäble, I wish I could let your Mama dine, even if it's not the finest restaurants ( to let her experience this things). Going back before no matter how much I worked harder to earn for living, my money is just enough to buy for our daily needs. Now that I can afford to take you in such restaurants she's not here anymore🥺 Those lines break my heart.

I just tapped him saying, for sure Mama is very happy now seeing us, up above that we never forget her day, that we still able to celebrate it up to now, that she will be forever missed and remembered.

Afterwards we went home and here I am lying down reminiscing the past when mama was still alive. How hypocrite I am if I will convinced myself that I am totally healed and moved on. Moving on was the hardest thing to do💔we knew that!

My messenge to anyone out there who still have a mom right beside you:

📎Let them feel your love everyday.

May it a form of gesture, your words and kindness.

📎They're not getting older each day.

So if you're working right now, please make time, allocate time for them. Reach out to them, call them via mobile phone.

Ask them, how was their day went through

📎Treat them out.

It's payback time. This is your time to let them experience the kind of quality life they deserved to have. You can buy the things they love. And you can ley them choose what they like. If they refuse, convinced them.

📎Never be shy.

Let them know how lucky you are to have them. Tell them the you are grateful about.

Flex them even sometimes 🏷️

Let's live our life as if there's no tomorrow ♥️

Let me leave this message content of what my sister posted in her social account : We celebrate your love today and everyday.

4th birthday without you because God took you a little early and we are a little late for soooo many things but it's okay because His will is still the best.

Again, happiest birthday Ma♥️ I love youu ♥️
