Today is Mother's Day.

It has been awhile since my last post. Things have been going well; just so busy. Things never seem to slow down nowadays. I would like to thank everyone for the continued support, prayers, and love during this transition time. It has not been easy. Those who say that time heals, never truly lost someone so special. As the child who has lost not only a mother, but also a father and a grandfather. I know, time does not heal. Our coping mechanisms just become better tuned.

My brothers and sisters are truly amazing. I feel so blessed to have been given such a wonderful family to help me cope with our loss. I feel that our loss has brought us even closer together. Our mom told us repeatedly in her final months to stay together because that is what her and our father would have wanted. Don't fuss, stay as one. I feel that this goes without saying. Together we can conquer the world. We are also blessed with some other individuals in our lives who have been there to help deal with the evils in the world.

It never ceases to amaze me that the worst of times can bring out both the good and bad in people. Sometimes people you would never expect to do good - does something amazing. And worst, someone who you trusted and felt comfortable with - does something to hurt you or the ones that you love so dearly.

As today is Mother's Day - and I too am a mother. I was fortunate enough to wake up to two beautiful girls with lots of love, kisses, cards, and happy mother's day wishes. Later waking you my adorable baby boy who offered lots of smiles and his own mom special wishes. I cannot help but feel overwhelmed by the loss of my mother. As the mother's day wishes pour in via phone calls, emails and text messages - all I can think of is my mother whom I lost.

More so the loss of my mother that bothers me is the lack of respect and love for those whom still have their mothers, but the bond between a mother and a child was somewhere lost along the way. Day after day, I thank God for the time I was given with my parents and I also pray that those who still have their parents will recognize what a wonderful gift that have been given.
