Tomorrow will be the day, we Filipinos celebrate the Mother's Day in honor of our dear mothers. It's a day to commemorate how great they were and how thankful we are 'coz without them, we are not here.
Being called mother is not always by blood. I also consider myself as a mom. Yeeaaah, I'm a fur-mom. Hihihi I have my little baby Kaki here with me. <3 She is a 10-month old shih tzu given to me by my brother's girlfriend.
Going back, I already said that being called mom is not just by blood but also by heart. Your dear friend can be your mom, or you can be a mom if you have a pet. It's such a great feeling being called Mom and have someone to call Mom.
This was last February 4, with my Mom celebrating her 51st Birthday. It was not as grand as we planned because we are short of money, but it doesn't matter anymore. What matters is the effort and the completeness of our family in her special day. We love her so much that we can't afford to lose and disappoint her.
Being Mom is not easy as it seems. One time, my Mother left over 2 weeks to visit her sister in Manila who was hospitalized because of illness. I remembered it was end of February 2020, and the lockdown was March 13, 2020. During their 2 -week stay there, we are obliged to work for ourselves. It's hard to live without the mother's supervision. Example, no one will wake you up in the morning, no one will prepare your breakfast, no one will do your laundry, no one will greet you, no one will care for you. I can't imagine what our life might be is she's not here. Fortunately, they are able to go back here before the lockdown starts, or else, it will take much longer for them to go home.
As part of the tomorrow's celebration, we prepare a coffee jelly. It's our favorite dessert made by Mom. Hehehe Though we also have some plan for tomorrow.
Me and my 4 siblings are going to surprise her with some foods and gifts I think. But as of now, we are short of budget and still have not yet made our concrete plan. As of now, we've decided to order the goliath pizza worth Php 1399 or about $29.28. We decided to just contribute Php 300 or $6.28 which I think is still affordable for me because I made some savings here in read.cash. Thank you @TheRandomRewarder for giving me something I didn't expect to have and also to some users here tips me especially to Ate @bheng620 and @Ellehcim. Thank you so much!
For now, my sister is doing a paper tarp for my mother. We are hoping it will be a success. Before we celebrate the Mother's Day, we will first attend the morning mass as thanksgiving to the Father <3
To all MOTHERS out there, extend my warmest greetings, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
Anyways, stay tuned for my next article about the tomorrow's big day! Goodnight! <3
Advance happy mother's day po sa mama nyo po. 😊
