AMOTHER'S LOVE ( A MOTHER'S TRIBUTE TO HER OWN DAUGHTER )

Out of the seven entries of the recently concluded Metro Manila Film Festival, I've gotten the chance to watch 3 films and one of them is Mano Po...A Mother's Love.To be honest the reason why I watched the film, aside from being enthusiastic to see my favorite Ms. Cuneta in a wide screen once again, whom I believe is an admirable performer, was the title of the movie that inspired me as well.The movie presented the faultless and undiminished Mother's love.As we all know, mothers are supposed to love their children unconditionally, and I'm pleased to say that I consider myself one of them. From the time I conceived my four children up to this very moment, I still have a photographic memory in my heart and mind the pain and glory of bringing them out into this world. Besides the ordeals that I went through, I likewise value the moments I had, with each one of them, especially when they were still young.I still recall how they were as babies, as teenagers and in the course of time what they are now and what they have become.That's how I treasure each one of them.Now my children are all grown - ups, as a matter of fact 2 of them, are wed and have kids of their own.But never will it hinder me of continually protecting, defending and insuring their safety as a mother should. Unusually, as mothers we are delicate and sensitive, especially when our children are finally on their own. At times, we carelessly tend to be senseless and cross beyond normal limits.We refuse to let go those moments that our children were yet kids, always depending on us, wanting us to be constantly around them.We refuse to accept the fact that they have already their own lives to live,new priorities and other things to attend to, aside from us.Though we are aware of this we choose to be stubborn to get once again their full attention.Why? for the reason we simply refuse to let go of them.That's how we mothers are, our love for our children is ultimate, no ifs,and no borders.Sometimes our children could hardly get the idea why we are acting this way, but I'm sure when their time comes, that's when they realize why.I remember, one time my daughter commented that I was being childish.I admit that I was acting so, for I wanted it my way.You see when my daughter being a hard working entrepreneur, gets too busy with her business, It's so hard for me to get in her way.I just miss my oldest baby I used to cuddle in my arms.Though I understand that's how it is.Anyway I'm proud of my daughter, at an early age I consider her successful on her chosen craft. And that goes with the rest of my brood.Anyway enough with bragging, just happened to mention my daughter in connection w/ the movie, Mano Po... A Mother's Love wherein the oldest daughter of Ms. Cuneta, played by Heart Evangelista, became a successful business woman, though her aim was quite wicked, to get even with her mother. Whereas in my daughter's case it's the contrary and completely different, the reason why I'm so proud of her.Being a mother myself this is one topic that's really close to my heart.Allow me to end my blog with this phrase..."A mother's love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking” .True enough,HOW ABOUT YOU MOTHERS OUT THERE DON'T YOU AGREE?
