Mama and Papa. Nanay and Tatay. Mommy and Daddy. Mother and Father. In short, PARENTS. I've checked several dictionary, including Mr. Webster, and i came up with a few words that would best describe them--nurturing, guardian, protector, strength, support, care and love. To cap it all, they are my everything.
Why do you think I came to make a blog like this? It all started with a conversation I had with my 'rents, my Dad in particular. Actually, it's just a little something he said that made me realize that they have done and given TOO MUCH for me. The chat was something involving money. I was like telling them about my weekend through text lang (same routine everytime I won't be able to come home). Then my Dad was like, "Do you need money? Okay I'll send you some soon". And then a shocked me was like, "Pa, sa sunod lang, diba gapon ka lang nagpadala?". I was pondering, are my parents' senses intact? Were they not thinking that they sent me money the day befor then they'll gonna send me again the next day. It's not that I'm complaining (sin-o man bi mareklamo hatagan kwarta? Aber? Hahaha!), it's just that I feel ashamed. I was not asking, nor trying to pabati-bati that I don't have money anymore because I still have! Considering that I am their most expensive daughter (expensive in the sense that since I was born, I cost them a lot--starting from that caesarian operation, to the incubator ,down to my hospital expenses and medicine allowances up to the present), I feel a twinge of guilt that despite of everything given to me, what have I given in return?
My sister and I are very grateful of our parents. Despite the fact that it's only Papa we only have in common.v My Mom died when I was 5, and the Lord yet blessed me with a new Mom (that's my sister's Mom). She's not the typical stepmother you see in movies. In fact, I even consider her a better Mom than mine. You may not totally understand but that was how I saw things from the very start I embraced the fact that she's in our (my Dad's and mine) life now. She's already a part of it. Even up to this very moment, I still have that certain idea in mind. Although I wasn't with my Mom for long, she still became a mother to me even just in a short period of time.
My only purpose of writing this blog actually is to remind myself (as well as everyone) that we should thank our parents everyday of our lives because we owe it from them. Every single cell in our body came from them. We may not be used of saying THANK YOU, but we should learn to. Time flies so fast. Who are you going to say thank you when that person is already gone? That is one of my biggest mistake in life that I will be bringing with me forever. My Mom left without even hearing me tell her thank you and i love you. But thank God I was given another chance, that is for giving me my new Mom. So when are you going to start to say those little phrases? They may be little but they meant so much when said. Start today, or else you'll regret forever.
