mother’s day
last mother’s day, a certain mother was recognized at church because of the occasion. a tito, who gave a brief background about her, said that she religiously goes to church every sunday and that she only walks from her house to the church, sometimes alone, sometimes with a grandchild. she’s very old already and her house is really far from the church. it would probably take a good 30 minutes to walk from her house to the church. when she was called in front to say something, she was crying and said that every time she walks, she only prays to god to keep her away from any harm. she also said that she has many children but none of them wants to go with her, and i felt sad for her. why can’t one of her children go with her, up to at least by the gate of the church? that’s not too much to do for a mother right, as compared to everything she has done to raise a child? i get so frustrated when i hear stories like this, probably because of how i am to my mom. i love driving for her or doing errands for her. i’d do anything i can for her. i believe that once a child can stand on his own feet, he should be doing things for his parents already and not rely on them for anything anymore. i can only pray for the children, of this certain mom at church, to be hit on the head and get some sense out of the situation with their mother.
