I woke up this morning thinking and feeling that today, Mother's day would be special. I wasn't counting on any suprises or any gifts from F3 for I knew for a fact how much we've been saving these past few months. From DVD expenses down to dining out -- very limited. I even told my husband even on my birthday not to get me something expensive or even anything at all. Nothing can replace the love his been given me and that's enough for me already. :)
My daughter and I prepared for mass and her Sunday school while the two boys, still sleeping. After the mass we head straight to the cafeteria whilst waiting for Nadine's Sunday School. I have seen most of my friends there, moms like me and we greeted each other a happy mother's day. Ms. Bella, our producer (naks!) for the cultural show was there too .. with her delicious fruit salad. While I was waiting for Nadine to finish, my husband called me up and told me that he just woke up. Typical of him every time he drank a few alcohols the night before. I told him that it's still a little early and they still have time to prepare before 11:30AM, ate Nadine's curtain call for her Sunday school. I ended up the call and continue to chat with Ate Luz, M Beth, M Anna, April, Leidan about the upcoming and first ever ( I suppose) Filipino Sports Fest here in Ipoh. A few minutes later my husband's coming with my son Namji holding a bouquet of flowers. And again, it almost send me to tears. But I held it back. Mamaya kasi may mag-comment na naman ng kung ano ano that would only spoil my day! My Happy Mother's Day. I saw my son holding it out with both hands and he was so proud to give me those 3 beautiful red flowers. My son and my husband took turns to greet me a Happy mother's day and sealing it with a kiss. I was very happy. I was going over my head thinking that he woke up a little early to buy me those flowers or maybe he deliberately asked me to go ahead, hear the mass with my daughter without the 2 of them. The 2 best man in my life. I felt so happy that I made a silly comment just so I could stand those eyes looking at me and my flowers "Pati sa pagbili ng flowers tipid na talaga dati 36 ngayon 3 na lang." Translation: Even in buying flowers, we're saving, it used to be 36 flowers now it's just 3. I know it wasn't proper to say that but just so I could hide from that overwhelming feeling I cracked it out.
Aside from the flowers, my husband already bought me a nice blue peasant blouse from MNG. My favorite brand of clothing lately because my husband's bought me my Ube tunic top and Pistachio colored capri pants for my birthday in MNG as well. He bought me my mother's day gift in MNG too.
My mother's day suprised didn't end there .. with all these flowers and gifts. An hour after dinner, while I was ironing and folding the laundry, my daughter approached me and told me that she had another suprise for me. Not just the flowers but there's more. She gave me her very own hand made bead bracelets that she put a brown masking tape to hold both ends together. It fits me but then the tapes not so good that the pieces fell apart. My daughter was about to cry but I assured her that Mommy can fix it and I did. I was wearing it the whole night.
The last suprise, oh yes, there was a lot of suprise, sent me bursting with tears. My daughter wrote a poem. A very extra ordinary poem that there was a story attached to it. It was entitled Oh How Much We Love Our Mom. Read here for more ..
I'm so blessed not just with material things but with the love that my husband and two kids have given me. Like I always told my friends my heart always skip every time my AJ is around. :) I'm always giving my family the love much more than they have given me. Being a mother is truly a career I'm very successful at. :)
