best mother
Whenever I look at my mom, I thank God for giving me the best mother in the world. She is someone who is very hardworking, patient and loving. She was a housewife for 18 years because she wanted to see us grow. She wanted to be the first to witness the milestones in our lives. She was always at home whenever we'd arrive from school. She was never absent in any of the PTA meetings called in the school nor in any school activities where they require at least one parent to come. She personally meets with our teachers when they asked for parents to get our report cards and ask how we are doing in school. She was our tutor and teacher at home. She did this to all of us her children, all five of us. When we were older, she started working. We allowed her since it will make her happy and that she needs the break too. We were all grown up by that time and with good family foundation. Mom excelled in her field. She was always one of the awardee for the 'Underwriter of the Year'. When she got tired from it and after 10 years of working, she is again a housewife. These days, she prefers to stay in the barrio where she can look after her piggery.
What I noticed about my mom is that she has a soft heart especially for children. Most of the kids in our barrio call her mommy. She feeds them whenever the children tell her that they are hungry and they haven't eaten in their homes yet. She gives them bread, biscuit or whatever that she has. She also lets the children stay in her house to watch television or just to sit on her chairs. Whenever she goes home to our other house in town, she'd also bring with her a kid or two. She may not have a grandchild from me but she has a lot of grandchildren through these kids.
For me, my mom is the best. There are those who feel that their mom is better than my mom. I think it really depends on who is talking. There are children with mothers who work abroad and spend more time taking care of other children, but they still consider their mom as the best mother. There are also other children with mothers who are 'lasenggo and sugarol' but at the end of the day, their kids still call them the best mother. There are mothers who prefer to work discipline their children by spanking them but still they are the best mothers for the children.
There are no rules with regards to how to be the best mother. What matters is how the mother shows her love to her children. How she comforts them when they need her or how she treats them as individuals. There is a strong bond between a mother and a child. This is the bond that I feel for my mother and this is the bond which I want to feel when I too will have my own child. Someone who would also call me the best mother in the world.
