Poem For My Mother Novels & Stories

She has decided to let go of the past and, starting today, she will renew her life. “I hope you will allow me to be a happy mom. Thank you for bringing me into this world. Thank you for being a good mother to me. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made and thank you for being the best mom in the universe. Mag momove on man ako sa nangyari sa atin, but always remember that you will stay in my heart and mind forever... I love you, Mom. I will always love you.” I sniffed weakly.

My mother's death left a deep wound in my heart, but mourning won't help, I need to seek justice for me to finally be at peace. Pinikit ko saglit ang aking mga mata, ninanamnam ko ang preskong hangin na malayang dumampi sa aking balat, bawat haplos nito'y nagdadala ng kakaibang sensasyon sa aking katawan, pakiramdam ko, nandito si Mama nakayakap sa 'kin. Ramdam ko pa 'rin ang init ng kanyang pagmamahal.

Because I'm the gift of the moon. "I don't want this power Mom. I don't want to be the gift of the moon—" She cut me off. Kumalas siya sa yakap at hinawakan ang magkabilang braso ko. "Your father gave you the best gift, Adra. He sacrificed his life for you to be alive." "But—" she cut me off again. "You are the best gift we got," she said. I smiled and hugged her tightly. I'm so much blessed to have her as a mother. Even though Dad sacrificed his life for me. She never hate me. She never do. Because all she see when she look at me is a blessing, a memory.

Lahat ay umiiyak maliban sa akin. “Sa lahat po ng nakiramay maraming salamat. Alam ko na ang paglisan ni Nanay ay hindi katapusan kundi panibagong simula lang. I’m not a perfect daughter nor a good person. Maging si Nanay ay ganun rin but honestly I’m so thankful na hinubog n’ya ako na ganito. Walang perpektong magulang. But the few days, hour, minutes and second of her life binigay n’ya yung matagal ko ng mithiin sa puso ko. Nay continue to live with god no more pain and may be after long years we will definitely see each other again. Mahal na mahal kita….

May dala-dala siyang bulaklak at ipinatong niya ito sa harapan ng lapida nito at nagsindi siya ng kandila bago pinakatitigan ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina na magandang naka-ukit sa lapida. “How are you mom? It's been a long time since I came her, I don't know what to say and where to start but I can say that my life is like riding a rollercoaster ride. I really can't imagine this would happened to me and I want you to know mom that I will never gonna judge you, I love you so much. You are the one and only the best mom for me... I miss you and I love you so.”

Tumingala siya, hinayaan ang sarili na maging totoo kahit sandali. “Wala na akong pakialam kahit sabihin pa ng mama mo na ama mo ako,” aniya, mabigat pero totoo. “Mahal na kita…” Napapikit siya, parang tinanggap ang bigat ng sariling damdamin. “…and I want you all my life.” At sa sandaling iyon—parang huminto ang buong mundo ni Elicia. Wala siyang nasabi.

“When do you think you might go outside or to visit the tea shop?” “Hindi ko pa alam.” “Well, just take your time?” I swallowed hard, trying not to think about my Mother. Saan na kaya siya? Buhay pa ba siya? Sana buhay pa siya! Damn, di ko mapigilan Ang sarili kong isipin ang posibleng nangyari kay Mama! “I miss her!" Tears rose in my eyes. Stupid, that I couldn’t get over. It was like I lost everything.

“Baby, you don’t need to say sorry because Mommy loves this so much, and I will forever wear this bracelet. Thank you so much dahil binigay ka ni Lord sa akin. Sobrang saya ko, anak, kung alam mo lang.” “Mommy, I’m happy too that you’re my mother. I’m so thankful to God that He gave me a kind, sweet, beautiful, and loving mother. I won’t ask anything; you’re enough for me, Mommy. So don’t leave me.” “I won’t leave you, sweetheart.” --

Hurt crossed my mother's eyes, na agad din namang nawala sa pag-iwas niya ng tingin sa'kin. I hugged my mother tight, her eyes started tearing up. "I-I'm sorry mom.. I don't mean to shout. I-I just want to k-know what you mean... Please, mom." She was hugging me and I'm on her chest. Suddenly, I felt home having on my mother's arms again. How can I shout on my beloved mother? "Cupid's mother, she's his.. h-his ex."

I said weakly. No one spoke. Mom walked towards my bed. She was silently crying. "I miss her..." I whispered. "I miss my wife, Mom." Lumakas ang iyak ni Mommy. She kissed my hand. "I left her begging me to s-stay. I left her... in the rain so she won't see me dying..." My tears were streaming as I speak. "I don't want her to live in misery, with the memory of me dying right in front of her... and hunting her. She loves me, Mom," My voice was so weak that I don't even know if they can still hear me. "And I love her... so much than what she can imagine."
