58 things i love about mom!

Hi mom! Good morning!

Did you sleep well?

I’m writing to you now. Isn’t it strange? you’re the one who used to send us notes but now im the one doing it. And its online. You know how bad my handwriting right? It has gone to worst and sometimes I cant even understand what I wrote. So I prefer it online to make it vivid and clear and tell the world how lucky I am to have a mother like you. 

Mom you’re 58! And you still look the same. You are still corrugated, you’re not sexy, but I guess 1 million mothers in the world, looks exactly the same as you, bigger like that, but I love it mom, I’ve been used to it. Hahaha! Oh how I miss the days when you get home from the office with so much pasalubong in your bag. 

You know what I miss the most? I miss the days when we stroll to the mall and went to the supemarket to buy everything we want. It’s because of the mild stroke and diabetes that hinders you to do so but at least we can still go to the mall and go to the market though  you just stay in one place and told us what to buy and that is very much ok. At least you are still there guiding us.  

Although I am old and you’re much older too, you still managed to check on my room and turn off the lights when Im asleep. Why cant I sleep without lights mom until now? 

Anyways I write this blog post exclusively to you because I want you to know how much I appreciated all your love to me and that of my crazy brother. Here, I list down things I love most about you. knowing that you always want me to do things I pretty much and whatever I want so here it is :
