My Mom Rocks (by Joshua Tan)

May 10, 2009
 
 
My mom is one of the greatest characters in my life.  She’s the one person keeping me sane at home.  She always understands where I’m coming from and tries to help me get through everything that bothers me.  My mom is also one of the most generous people in the world.  Not only does she give her all for us two brothers, she tries to help everyone else she can in her own ways.  She’s taught me to be as kind and caring as herself.

She’s a true testament to human dignity because she always acknowledges the importance of family.  She always reiterates the kind of brother-relation I should have with my brother.  Whenever I think of something, I must always take my brother into consideration and try to include him.  This is what she’s teaching.  She pushes us to be more together with each other because we can never change the fact that we’re brothers and that we cant grow without each other.  She says that whenever the other is in need, we must never hesitate to help.  She’s taught me human dignity even before I knew what dignity means.

My mom continues to be the witty and caring mother she’s always been.  Her name is Chris, and I love her.

I’ve only been in the Philippines for a short time but its clear to me it’s an amazing place. Anyway, I just stopped by because I’m looking for blogs about filipino life and found your site on yahoo. If you have any tips on places to try when in Manila then I’d love you to share them with me. Make the most of Holy Week!

Renelyn:

Thank you for your heart warming entries. It is a privilege for me to know more about your moms. Happy Mother’s Day!

I just wanted to thank everyone who have already submitted their essays. It was very touching to read through all that you have written. You clearly have wonderful mothers, and they clearly have wonderful children.

May families, especially mothers, continue to raise more children to live in dignity!
