Happy Golden Birthday to my Mom!

                                         
Happy Golden Birthday to you! It was sad that we couldn’t be with you on your special day for obvious reasons, the plane ticket is so expensive and is not yet vacation time. Thank God for technology because I can greet you in my post.

I just want to let you know that I am really grateful that God gave me a mom like you, though we’ve only been together for seven years and we never really grew up with you. We are still thankful because we know that you are always there to support, pray, care for, and love us across the miles.

I know you’ve been through a lot and if there’s one story na pang MMK (Maalala mo kaya) that will be your story.  You suffered and sacrificed a lot just for us so even though we’re unable to live with you, we’re still happy for you because you truly deserve to be happy.

Growing up without a mom beside me is not easy but it also taught me how to be a strong, independent, and responsible person. I always think that you’re not with me so I have to learn to fight my own battles, run my own race, and achieve my dreams.

I salute you for achieving all your dreams; you got your degree while taking care of our youngest sister and at the same time working to support us. When I became a mom, you served as an inspiration to me because I know that you had 3 kids at the age of 20 without a nanny and house helper and I only have one son so I know I can do it too.

You taught us to have a good relationship with God so when life is so tough when we’re about to give up and we can’t run to you for help because of the distance, we can always call God to strengthen and comfort us.

I’m proud to be your daughter and I hope that I can be like you. I want to be a good mother to my little one and I hope that I can raise him the way you raised us when we were still kids. They say that the first 7 years is the most important phase and I hope I’m on the right track.

Happy birthday and I really pray that you will have more birthdays to come because I can’t imagine the future without you! Jeg elsker deg!

Btw, my mom has a blog too “Joy’s notepad”, you can click here to visit her site and if it is not too much to ask, can you also leave a message and greet her. Thank you!

If you live in Norway, you can grab my sister's book  Smaken Av Fosen . It is a recipe book. =)
