Shoutouts sa mga mama, grandma (Part 1 of 3)

“I’m in love with my grandmother. She always plays with me and helps me with my chores.” – Anonymous

“May isang taong nagmamahal ng sobra sa akin kahit ilang beses ko na s’yang nabaliwala, pero di siya napapagod sa akin at yun ay si Mama. Si Mama ang inspirasyon ko sa pang araw-araw kahit minsan di kami magkaintindihan. Siya yung taong kahit pagod na sa trabaho, pero di napagod sa pag-aalaga sa amin.” – Anne Hyacinth Salvado

“Ako Almer Almas, 18 yrs old na ngayon. Bata pa po ako nang naghiwalay si mama at papa ko. Apat po kaming magkakapatid at ako po ang nakakatanda sa amin. Nagkakawatak-watak po kaming magkakapatid Kasama ko lang po yung mama ko at yung sumunod sa akin. Malungkot man pakinggan pero dapat lumaban dahil nandito lang ang Panginoon para sabayan tayo. Nagpapasalamat ako sa aking mama na walang sawang nag-aalaga sa amin. Masasabi ko na isa siyang matatag na inay. I love Mama Alma!” – Almer Almas

“A mother’s love knows no boundaries. It is unconditional and she is willing to do anything to provide everything for her children to make them happy. My mother sacrificed so much for me. After he married my stepfather, she had to make a very difficult decision, she needed to work abroad in order to provide our needs. I was very sad because I don’t want her to go. It was very hard for her to leave me behind. She was always crying when we were talking on the phone. She had a lot of struggles abroad. In the end it was all worth it. I am now a Grade 11 student, I promise to repay everything that she’s doing for me. My mom visited us and after that she allowed us to visit her abroad, too. I can truly say that she loves me so much even though we’re far away. I love her so much.” – Anonymous
