You know the depth of my love for you. To me, you were the bravest, strongest, and most incredible mother in the world. Your heart was the most understanding and kindest I have ever known. I will be forever grateful for the memories you left behind—a lasting testament to how deeply I was loved and cared for.
You are in God’s hands now, and with Papa as well. I know you are both watching over me and my siblings. Thank you for everything you sacrificed and endured for our family, for always motivating me, and for always telling me: 'Kaya lagi nimo na, ayaw kalimot sa pag-ampo, ug salig pud sa imong sarili.' You know how much those words help me fight through the difficult moments of my life.
I still remember when I was in first-year high school and fainted at school; you made sure you were right by my side. You held my hand, making me feel that I was not alone. And oh, you always made the best 'lugaw' every time we get sick.
I do not know what my life would be like without you. You are my source of strength in every way—my moral support, my teacher, and my motivator. You are the only person in the world who truly understood and appreciated me. Because of you, my life was full of strength and joy.
I pray that our Great God guides your soul to eternal rest and happiness. You will be missed every single day. Until we meet again, Mama.
This song is for you, mama.
