It is hard to let go of someone you love. Someone very close to my heart passed away a few years ago on this same date. I still miss her. But I have learned to cope.

I love my mom. She was not the perfect mom, not even close to the average mom. She had so many flaws that at times, I was even more of a mom than her. But I would never had her any other way.

She was an only child, an unwanted at that. She had a hard time making friends because at the back of her mind, she kept thinking people would know about her parents, separated, never speaking to each other. And since her parents didn’t want her, what more other people?

She married my dad not only because she fell in love with him, but also to escape home. My grandma saw her ex-husband in my mom and the latter was an easy target. She was verbally crucified for her dad’s mistakes.

You know what we (me and my siblings) did to when we were told about all these? We loved her and gave her everything she wished for. When she died a few years ago, she told my aunt (my dad’s sister) that even if her parents didn’t love her, her children did. To this day, when I am reminded of that, I still cry.

I love you, mom, and I will always do. Wherever you are right now.

Now I am back to regular posting. I have scheduled a number of posts already so you would not have to come back to the same post again and again. I apologize for the lull here but it was unavoidable as I have too many things on my plate at the same time. Blogging has to take a backseat otherwise I would crumple from the weight of all the tasks I had to do.

After completing most of the tasks, I find myself with a bit of time for blogging. I will be taking advantage of it to do more posts for you my readers and visitors.

Now I know what I will definitely write in this blog. Women! Women that struck an interest in me. It could either be negative or positive. So wait for the next couple of posts. We might have the same opinion on the woman I will be writing about.
