This will be a lot of stories because she had 6 children, but I will definitely tackle all the good memories that they had.

She told me the stories behind the names of her 6 sons. They named most of them after the saints, but for me, all those names came from the saints is who she loves the most. It is just my observation because she said that her love is equal.

1st born twin name Augustine and Augusto

2nd born name Levirato

3rd one is named Godofredo

4th Anthony

The first-born son is a twin name Augustine and Augusto, Augustine is a patron Saint name, and how she describes Augustine as a very handsome, charming with a cleft chin, a kind, loving, intelligent one but unfortunately became weak and sick most of the time and died at five, while Augusto who was born August 28 that's the reason she got that name and describe Augusto as a very obedient son who, almost did all the chores and take care most of the time with his siblings.

Augusto was raised to be a responsible son almost his time spend doing the chores before leaving the school and after that they assigned him to attend their sari-sari stores while the other siblings are free to play outside. He is very obedient and kind, that's why most of his siblings thought he is the favorite. Augusto always spends most of his time alone in his room. He is silent, and she never remembers that she got mad in Augusto. She told me that Augusto did not spend most of his time with her but with her auntie, because there is a belief in the Filipino tradition that if you had a twin you must separate them to live for a long time, that's why she decided to kept Augustine with her and Augusto with her auntie but the time came that she said that her auntie got mad while with Augusto because when Christmas came he received a not so good gift for Augusto that's why her auntie dragged Augusto to go home and she was hurt that time to see her son's like that and almost grew up that never showed affection with her that's why she decided to got back Augusto with them and gave a nickname Ompoy, she said that she gave that because it means "lamp" or weak he learned to walk late at his age and mess around most of the time. The time came that Augustine got very sick with polio and died of pneumonia. Augusto is a very obedient one that's why they decide to push them through his school at college but some of her sons envied him.

How did she raise a man?

She told me that Augusto became the obedient son but the time came that his son decided to elope that time she told me that Augusto had been heartbroken from his first love who did not come as his lover, she said that Augusto's first love is a very beautiful but came from a very not so well family, her sons spend most of his teenager life with that girl but never told his feelings instead eloped because there was a rich man who wants to marry the girl she wants to become his wife but unfortunately that time he is not ready, from the time that Augusto eloped they discover that he spends his time to follow a spiritual healer in the other cities and met the daughter and became his wife.

She raised a son's to be a responsible husband and father. Augusto lives first with the daughters of the spiritual healers which she describes as a very nit good decision because the woman is with asthma and very sick most of the time but August decided to take full of his responsibility as he became a father for their 3 daughters. She got pitty about how Augusto spent his time as a partner and a father because her sons decided to be far from them and live a very hard life, selling foods in the street while that time they live a comfortable life, but she never stop to help Augusto she bought a jeep for him the source of income also she built the house for their family but unfortunately, his wife health condition got worst and died. She saw how responsible his son was to be a husband and a father and a good provider.

When Augusto got widowed he spent most of his time looking after his mother because at that time her children got their own families and he also lives alone. At that time I came as a caregiver because most of her siblings have their own families. We became partners in life to take good care of her and had his firstborn son because he had 3 daughters.

Those last two years of her life I saw a son who is very responsible to take good care of his mother, Even though he also got sick he continue his role to be a responsible son as ger mother raised him, most of the needs of her mother we are partners and make the most of her time memorable.

This was the first birthday that we prepared for her because this time her daughters are in the other country and we made sure that she will feel our love for her. She requested most of that foods, she said that I am a good cook.
