Happy Birthday, Mama Dearest!

It was my mother-in-law’s birthday yesterday. Since the Hubby, my sis-in-law and I had to go to work, she celebrated it with her youngest sister, Tita Let. They went to City Buffet and watched Dark Knight Rises afterwards.

May I share with you that since Mama retired and found a ‘galaan’ buddy in Tita Let, she has been frequenting the cinemas! Wala shang napapalagpas na movie, I tell you. Tinalo pa kaming mga self-proclaimed adik sa movies!

“I’m glad that you had fun on your birthday ‘Ma, despite the stormy weather yesterday (and even today). Happy birthday, ‘Ma. There are a lot of things I’m truly grateful about you. Some of those are your loving me and accepting me whole-heartedly, treating me as if I am really your child – not just a person that your son married.” ^_^ 

“I’m sorry that sometimes I feel bad whenever you text me what time I am coming home, if I am near the house already, if I can leave the office early so I can be home before night time. I’m sorry that I thought of these things as your way of controlling me. When in fact, you are only worried about me when I’m not at home yet, same way you worry about your children... now, I understand. Now, your nervous text messages even bring smile on my face as I know that you regard of me more than I thought you do.”

“I love you, Mama. I’m glad that you became my second mother on earth!”
