𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.

You came into mine and became part of who I am.

Nanay, thank you for every sacrifice, every prayer, every meal, every piece of advice, and every moment of unconditional love. You spent your life taking care of everyone around you, asking for little in return.

Yesterday, our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye, but we are grateful for the years we were blessed to have you with us.

You may no longer be here beside us, but your love will continue to live in every lesson you taught, every story you shared, and every life you touched from your kumares, tropa and sugal buddies.

Rest peacefully, Nanay. You will always be loved, always be remembered, and never be forgotten.

A MOTHER'S HEART OFTEN BEGINS LONG BEFORE THE TITLE DOES 🤍

Before the greeting cards.
Before the flowers.
Before the world even notices her sacrifices.
Because motherhood was never only about giving birth.

And honestly, motherhood comes in so many forms. Hindi siya isang template lang na kailangan sundin ng lahat. (edi wow, may sariling storyline ang bawat mother dear)

This day is for the moms na halos walang tulog kakaisip sa pamilya nila.
The moms raising children while chasing deadlines.
The business owners replying to emails habang may batang kumakatok sa pinto. (CEO by day, snack provider by night yarn)
The women praying to become mothers one day.
The ones who experienced loss but still carry love so deeply in their hearts.
The aunties, godmothers, bonus moms, and women who became a safe place for others. (mothering kahit walang official job description charot)

This day is for the women trying so hard to become mothers.
Yung ilang beses nang umasa, nag-pray, nasaktan, pero patuloy pa rin nagmamahal kahit hindi pa nahahawakan yung hinihintay nila.
Not every mother gets celebrated loudly.
Some continue loving quietly behind closed doors.

And... this day is also for the mothers who experienced loss.
The kind of love na sobrang lalim kahit sandali lang nila nakasama yung child nila.
The quiet grief people do not always understand, but never truly leaves. (sending hugs with consent, mhie)

So if nobody tells you this today:

You are appreciated.
You are important.
You are doing more than you think.
But your love matters.
Your sacrifices matter.
You matter. (oo ikaw na pagod pero tuloy pa rin pumasok sa life)

Because motherhood is not measured by flowers, greetings, or Instagram posts. (kahit gusto rin natin ng flowers syempre HAHAHA)

It is measured by love.
By sacrifice.
By patience.
By the way you continue showing up even on the days you feel exhausted. It is choosing to love over and over again, even on difficult days.

And that kind of love deserves to be celebrated. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman carrying motherhood in her own beautiful way. (mothering with or without applause era)

Behind every task completed is a VA building discipline, skills, and confidence. Trusting the process and showing up every day. ✨
