To our Inday..!





Where should I begin? Flowery words, praises, statement of love? You know all of it. You always hear it from us. For me, you’re not the best because every mother is the best, just like any other mother who will do things for her kids...but you know what you are? Your personality is one of a kind. As a child I witnessed how you handle life. You’re a woman of strong personality, a woman who is never afraid to fight and stand for what you believe in. A woman who doesn’t care if everyone disagree with your opinion. A woman whose words sometimes sting like a bee. A woman, who can sing, can dance, can write a song, and can deliver a poem. A woman who plays guitar, who play cards which most often than not lost her bet but will never admit it to her man but will bragged of winning the game instead. A woman who can start her sermon at morning to her children, which ends till midnight, coz you never run out of words to say. A woman who can make your man's world upside down and all he can do is shake his head.
…Now age is taking its toll on you. Your skin has withered. Your voice became a little husky; your vision has become blurred. The veins on your hands showed how much you did your best to raise us, your 10+2 kids. Your hair turns from brown to gray. You’re beautiful face has wrinkled and you’re a little bit hunched now. Unstable blood pressure, arthritis, and having a hard time breathing sometimes; those are the things that really bothered us. But for you, it’s all part of life. We should accept it.  See, you’re really strong. For you age is just a number. Ageing can stop you to do some things you used to do, but it won’t stop you from loving us. You still hug us, kiss us, reprimand us, worry about us and most of all care about us. You have so much love in your heart and you never run out of it. Maybe that’s the reason why God gave us to you, because no one can handle us except you. We're ten kids  and for you we're peanuts! I love you.. we love you. Thank you.
