It is really hurting when our mothers are gone. I’ve lost mine when I was five years old. But anyway rest assured they are in God’s hands.

Just wondering how are you related to Edgar Mansala of Rambutan Street. We grew together in that area full of memories.

God Bless

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.”
– Jewish proverb

As an orphan and eldest son myself, I feel your longing for your mother. I know how it is to miss her in times of trials and triumphs. I feel the lonely feeling that we children feel that there is something in our hearts somehow.

My own parents had never forgotten how your mother helped locate a wayward son who was detained in the military camp in Buayan. When Ma’am Maria confirmed to them that their son was alive and well in the said camp, my parents were profuse in their gratitude to her. I now extend the same to the three of you.

I imagine Ma’am Maria lounging in heaven, sharing snacks with your father,my parents and other friends as they watch over us and the rest of their families back here on earth.

Take heart in the unfathomable love of your mother for you. God bless.

We are very sorry to hear that you had lost your mom already. It was only last year through MBS2 that we had known you and since then, we bonded like old friends and family already. THe exchange of emails only pretty show that you are a great person with a very big heart and that you have great friends in different sizes.

We are pretty sure your mom is with the loving hands of our Father. She is always on the lookout of her family, protecting you and the rest of her flock.

My best wishes to you and to your loved ones always.
From me and my family,
Rosilie

I woke up feeling sad today. I miss my mom. She died last April 26, 2007. I miss her so bad that I cry just thinking about her.

Sayang. Sayang is all I can say now. I wasted the times when she was alive and not bonded with her enough. I was too immersed with work that I unconciously took her presence for granted. I miss the times when we used to talk. I miss her stories about her experiences as a teacher. Mom was an educator. She is the epitome of what a teacher should be.

Weeks before my mom died, she would complain about the pain she is feeling. I always tell her that it’s part of getting old. I was not too worried then because her recent check-up on her diabetes and hypertension showed improved results. I noticed that each time I stayed with her, she calmed down. She just wanted to hear my stories. She wanted to hear how my “new” job was coming along. She liked that. She always liked hearing my many adventures. She taught me to believe in myself. She told me that the secret to be successful is to love what I do. Mom instilled in me one important thing – to be ambitious and to aspire for excellence. But she would always tone down and say – BE HUMBLE.

I miss my Mom so much. During her last days, she would just sleep. We communicate by touch. Everytime I come inside her room, I always say in a loud voice: “REPORTING FOR DUTY, MOMMY!” I would then hold her hand and asked her if she knows who I am. Her right foot would twitch. She did recognized me.

When it came to a point that Mom was struggling for breath, I held her hand and told her that she can rest and that I will take care of my other siblings. A tear fell from her right eye. I knew then that she got my message.

I was working when I got the call. I left in huff. When I arrived, Mom lay peacefully in eternal sleep.

I miss you Mommy. Rest now. I love you very much.

You are very lucky Tito Avel for having such a wonderful mother, strong support of a family and friends.

Prayers are indeed powerful tools that everyone can utilize at it’s best.

Let us all celebrate life while we still can. Cheers!

You’re a good son, Avel, placing other’s interest and welfare before yours. In the team, we admire you, even look up to you.

God bless!

Cheer up, I know your Mom had a well lived life. She may have left us but she has given us a legacy. Children who are of big help to the community by being a friend, mentor and inspiration to others. That’s you, Bariles, and your siblings.

Life is mysterious as God is. . . I know that somewhere out there, our dear departed loved ones are smiling as they watch over us.

Of course, I also have my own fair share of heart wrecking experiences but what made me persevere is the belief that we are all God’s children and we are loved by Him.

Take care, Bariles. I will always be here for you.
