"But this is reality, and I have to face the facts. I have to face the fact that I’m alone now. I have to face the sounds of crying and wailing from the other room. I have to face the facts that I’m going to grow up motherless, clueless and confused. It won’t be easy, but I will get through this."

I remembered going through exactly what she's going through right now. The amount of pain I had to bear. Not to say that what we're going through is exactly the same but somehow, it's just similar in a way. Losing a parent was never easy. Especially a mother. After reading that article of what happened to the mother, I felt so devastated. I envied one thing that she had though. Her relationship with her mother. Unlike me, I never got the chance to be as close to my mother as her. I blame my ego and stubbornness. The memories they shared were so beautiful while mine made me felt guilt and regret. I was too stubborn to notice anything..

That amount of pain, knowing that your one and only loving mother will not be able to watch you graduate, walk down the isle and take care of your children is just too painful. Right now, all I can do is to pray for her. Even if I do know that she'll be okay a lot more sooner than I did due to the amount of love and support she has, I'll still pray for her. I hope for the best for her.

Also, here's to all the mothers in the world, especially the ones who went through a really hard time.
