A present for my Mom's birthday. She's someone who I admire so much. She was
teary eyed while reading my journaling.
Journaling reads:
You are one of the few people I admire so much for everything you have done for us. I have seen how you handled our family when dad had to work abroad to earn more. This was at a time when we were still so little but you said it was to provide us with a good education and everything else we needed. It was you who stood to be our mom and dad during those times. You stayed home for us and started a small business so you could help dad in providing for our needs. I never saw you waking up so late in the morning. You were always on the go and you didn't mind if you were sick or in a bad mood, you still did everything. Dealing with 4 kids, all with different personalities, is very hard but you managed to do your very best. The things you shared with me about love and life is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. You are indeed a Pillar of Strength! When I am down, you always stand by my side. When dad died in a car accident, you showed unbelievable courage and took responsibility as the main provider for our family. You had to leave us to work in a foreign land as well. I know it was so hard on your part but we had no choice. There are so many wonderful things about you that I love and admire so much.
Now that I am a MOM myself, there are times that I can't imagine how you handled everything and still not complain. I have a daughter and life is good, but still I find myself complaining at times. I feel tired then whine sometimes and realize how it must have been tougher for you when you raised all 4 of us together with our grandparents and uncle. I realized how hard it must have been for you when dad decided to return home to start a business and then he was suddenly taken by God. It was such a traumatic experience for all of us. You are a true essence of how a mom should be: brave, kind-hearted and a true friend. You don't interfere with your children's plans for their future as long as you know it's going in the right direction. You are independent and most important of all a loving mom.
