Plans for later

• Are you not on good terms with your mom? Or granda? Or your sister who has a child/ren already?

• Are you not expressing your love for them daily?

• Are you just too shy to say you love them? or maybe you have deep cuts that made you build walls?

Can you relate to these questions above? Maybe some of you have answered YES to any of those but regardless, I will never judge you for we have different stories behind our cheerful smiles.

Anyway, are you aware that today is a special day? It's Mother's day today✨✨✨ What are your plans?

Many users here have already written so much about their lives, their journeys to motherhood, and being hands-on moms.

💕💕💕Happy mother's day to you all.💕💕💕

Since we were a child, we have always chosen to make Mother's day a special day. We spoil mama, have her a break and pamper her, we always wrote letters or cards for us to show her how much we are grateful for her sacrifices for us.

We are always lacking in materials things and finances even up to now and it's quite a miracle how mama never gave up her life-long job without anyone to assist her despite having relatives who mock her. We have a big family and we are 10 siblings (excluding my baby sister who died of a heart problem when she was 1 year old). Mama is just an on and off food vendor, sometimes she didn't sell because of the weather or sometimes she's too sick.

We never leave mama alone nor make her feel alone because of papa's passing. From a young age, we knew how we need money to have something to eat and that we need to move to live.

Every day seemed a survival day for us, especially for mama that diseases are left untreated. Thank God as children of mama, together hand in hand we are slowly making progress to help mama's needs. We are prioritizing mama's medicine, and siblings' education before our consumables takes place on the list. Many people especially relatives are throwing insults and laughter at us because we seemed to be in the same place as more than a decade ago. No properties to brag about, no fancy clothes, appliances, car, motorcycle, etc. Whenever they see us their disgust shows off on their faces, some have acted neutral but will silently laugh or backstabs you. We were used to it, the comparisons and small talks to spy on us.

As a family, we are growing. We are far from the ideal but maybe the challenges inside and outside the house brought us more bound as a family. And so today is a beautiful day, we're unstoppable to honor our mom's existence, motherhood, and influence in our lives.

We are going to buy a simple bento Ube cake for mama.

Kuya(big brother) will have to cook sauteed noodles for our snack in the afternoon. Yes, our celebration will be happening in the afternoon later today. Other siblings will write letters, we are also assigned the flowers, venue, plates, etc.

That's how we are going to celebrate mother's day, just make moms feel loved and special. Even a day of shaking off negative vibes will be great and I know moms will love to see family in sync.

Making someone happy sometimes never costs so much, it's the joy you give from the efforts that you made. Knowing simply that they crossed your mind will make them smile, what more with some sweet gestures, saying "I love you's" or hugs or kisses? Or gifts?

I know forgiving and forgetting is hard and easier said but one day, just today, won't kill us to share some love.

Again, happy mothers day to all moms here and to every mom of every reader who finds my writings tonight, and also to feeling moms and moms at heart out there. Haha, You are uniquely beautiful and you are amazing! Congratulations😊
