Happy Birthday Mama, I'm the Hiver of Week & Complicated Mother's Day Story

Happy new week @asean.hive family 🤗 Monday morning looks like typhoon Aghoon is leaving our country. I woke up late because I'm not feeling well last night. I always thank God for the gift of life. And today mark us another existence of my mom's birthday. We may be far from each other but I know our heart is together. Last year I was able to visit her at Manila together with my son. We brought her fresh shrimps and fish, I was also the one who cooked it. Seeing her eat that many makes me so happy. We weren't able to visit her this year in her birthday but I'll sure find ways to visit her some other days.

Four days left month of May is already done. I noticed that I didn't wrote anything in mother's day. The whole month of May was a busy one for me. Then I remember to write the whole stuff in one since I wasn't able to visit my mom.

But I greeted my mom of course and I also wanted you to know her patience and sacrifice. I always mention @katsuki29 in my blogs you know her as my eldest but she had a sister just one year older. She's my mom companion now.

After I graduated high I got pregnant with my Julie Anne she's already 18 years old now while @katsuki29 is 17. Mom got mad at me at first, but moms love is always unconditional. She accepted us, but after I gave birth to Julie a got pregnant again 😅. That was the time she got mad at me because I needed to stop school. She told that me that we needed to stand on our own this time.

Sometimes I visited them in Manila but I can't stay often. This are pictures of Julie and Julia/ @katsuki29, I named them after my mom's name Juliet

I know you're all familiar with my aunts house the one with big house on our side. Julie stays there if she wants to visits us, she was not allowed to sleep at our house even once. There are a lot of difference in my life before and now. Many told me that I went Riches to Rug that supposed to be the opposite. But I can't change anything now all I can is to continue the path that I chose too.

She still continue to visit us until Jj came, my complicated son who also lives in my in-laws House. But as she grows she realized the difference of our world. My mom let Julie realized that if she failed like me her life will be wasted. It was the hardest because she unfriend us on her social media accounts. We need to understand her situation because she study on a private school.

This was her last visit they looked closed siblings. But the next was like a formal friends and very rare.

This is Julie Anne now, she's also a grade 12 student like @katsuki29 she's one year older but they are in the same grade level. We are not that closed by last year when I ranned away from home she looked me in the eye and misses me so much. I have a lot of memories of her when she was a child. Whenever I'll return home she'll cried out loud it even went to the point that we needed to put her to sleep so I can go home. It's hard that she grow far away from us. But if that's needed and better for her we can't do nothing about it. What important is we survive in our lives.

I want to thank @asean.hive community specially to sir @justinparke @joshman, ma'am @sreypov, and @srey-yuu for the support. I was really touch by the message of the post. It's an overwhelmed feeling that hive appreciate a mom like me. Hardwork really pays off, I love to write it's like I'm writing a diary and I want the people to know my story.
