My mom is turning 80 years old this coming December. Right now she’s really sick. Honestly she could go anytime now. Just 3 years after coming back here to lived for good my mom had stroke. She did recover after that, but she didn’t really take care of herself that much that she got ill again. She didn’t get better after another stroke. She didn’t really listen to the advice of the doctor. Bob and I even hire a physical therapist to come to our house everyday to work on her. My goodness just after a month she fired the therapist. I was wondering why the therapist didn’t come that day for her session, so I called her up and told her why she’s not at my house for Mama’s therapy. She didn’t told me that Mama told her to not come back because Mama’s going to the farm in GenSan. I was shocked. I told the therapist that its not true, that my mom still at the house. I just didn’t force my mom to had the therapy.
Anyway, now she’s not looking good. She’s not eating too. My sister told me that she’s really in a lot of pain now. She can’t even sit down now on her wheel chair by herself. She can’t swallow her food now too. My sis just try to make everything into soup but still she had a hard time swallowing. I think its almost time for her to rest it really showed in her face. Really I pray that she will be happy seeing my dad soon.
To Mama: We really love you a lot. I know that Papa is happily waiting for you. All of your grand kids and great grand kids and your sons and daughters-in-law loves you very much too. Thank you so much for loving us and taking care of us. I was really happy that we came back here and my kids know you better. Bob’s mom also loves you very much even though you guys can’t communicate. Through you guys actions the love was really there. Bob really loves you a lot too. He always told me that your the only family I had that he felt that really loves him.
Mama I really love you. While typing this I was crying. Sometimes I felt that I wished I should have been the older kid of yours so that I have a longer time to spent with you and Papa. But being the youngest was special too. I was really loved by you both. From the bottom of my heart I always love you. You are the reason why me and my siblings are still together.
I LOVE YOU MAMA!

Hi peterjoy – Thank you for the thought. I can tell that its not going to be easy for you leaving your parents behind especially with the situation they are in. Well, if you have siblings or other family member that can keep an eye on them while your away. With the technology nowadays at least you can communicate with them anytime you want. I’m sure your wife will be helping you on that. Good luck to you and your wife. I hope you have a safe and welcome to the Philippines.
I’m glad you like our site. Thank you so much for stopping by! Keep reading and keep giving your thoughts too.
Cheers!
