Mothers Love Novels & Stories

tanong ko habang humihikbi pa rin. Tinapunan niya ako ng tingin at tumikhim. “Tumahan ka na, hindi ‘yan makakabuti sa bata.” Naramdaman ko ang konting ginhawa. Ganyan si Mama — hindi siya showy sa emosyon. Hindi niya ako yayakapin o sasabihing “I love you.” Instead, iaalok niya sarili niya, iiwan niya ang Isla, at mananatili dito para bantayan ako. That’s her way of loving.

Napakabuti ng nanay ko, wala akong masasabi dahil akala ko noon ay wala talaga nag-mamahal sa akin, pero mula ng malaman ko ang sakripisyo ni Mama, na nagagawa n`ya pa na ngumiti kahit na ang hirap ng sitwasyon ni Mama. My mom is a strong woman, kahit tinatapakan na s`ya ay hindi pa rin ito basta-basta sumusuko, dahil para sa amin ni Ate. Love can kill, my mother is a loving proof na hindi lahat ng pagtitiis ay maganda ang kakahinatnan, puwede nila tawagin na tanga si Mama at pagtawanan, pero kapag nalaman nila kung ano ang hirap na pinag daanan ni Mama, they will cry like a baby.

Motherhood is messy and staggeringly beautiful. It is overflowing with great joy, laughter, tenderness, and immeasurable responsibility. As mothers, we strive to make our families the heart of our day-to-day lives, and we redefine what it means to be tired, to be busy, to multitask with grace and patience. We love with our whole hearts and do everything in our power to give and give selflessly.

And that alone, is enough for her. "I am the one who must thank you Tito Manolo, dahil naririyan ka palagi para kay Mama. Thank you for always there for her, and for loving her unconditionally after all this time. Panatag po akong nasa tabi niya kayo. Sana po hindi magbabago ang pagmamahal ninyo sa kanya." "My love for her never change in twenty years, ngayon pa ba iyon magbabago kung kailan sa akin na ang kanyang puso? I will love your mother till eternity, Lei. Pangako iyan."

napiyok na sagot ni mom. “Whatever may happen t-to m-me d-dad p-please take g-good c-care of A-anjelouv o-okay,” tuluyan ng naiyak si mom. My mom is the strongest woman I know. She never cries in front of me. She is always smiling, and her eyes are full of life. “I-I l-love y-you daddy, I-I l-ove y-you m-mommy.” She continues to cry while saying those words to my grandparents.

“Think about those things I’ve said to you, okay? That’s for everyone’s good. I love you.” Cameron's eyes, once distant, locked onto his mother's gaze. He felt the warmth of her touch, the tenderness in her words. It was as though the walls he had built around himself were slowly crumbling, allowing him to let his guard down in the presence of her unwavering affection.

It's like there's something in my chest that blocking an air. "P-Pam," panimula ko. Hinalikan ko ito sa ulo. "Always remember that your Mommy loves you very much. S-She maybe busy but in her heart ikaw ang first priority niya. S-Siguro, nawalan lang kayo ng communication, kwentuhan, o 'di kaya ay bonding kaya hindi niyo na naiintindihan ang isa't-isa." Hinarap ko ito saka ko pinunasan ang luha nito na patuloy lamang sa pag agos.

Aunt Laura gently held both of my hands, squeezing them with warmth and care. Her eyes were soft, filled with something heavy — grief, maybe guilt, or both. “Hija,” she said quietly, her voice trembling, “I hope you’ll not hate your mother. She loves you. So much, more than you’ll ever know.”

puna ko sa kanya. She gave me a weak smile. Maganda pa rin si mama after all these years. Minsan sinabi ni papa na marami raw ang tutol sa pagmamahalan nila ni Mama noon pero my father was too persistent to have my mom as her queen. He even said that he is willing to move heaven and earth just for her mom. I found myself admiring my parents. My heart hopes to have that kind of love someday.

nakangiti na sabi ni Libby. Si mommy naman ay tumalikod na para mauna na namang maglakad. Hinabol naman siya ni Libby at kumapit ito ulit sa braso ni mommy. Hindi naman umangal si mommy kaya alam ko na gusto niya ang ginagawa ng anak niya. Sa tingin ko ay hindi lang talaga si mommy expressive na babae. Hindi siguro siya sanay na maging malambing. Dahil ang love language niya ay act of service.
