mom, you're amazing.

Mama is amazing. I know I said this so many times and I will still say it over and over and over again, because her 'amazing-ness' is like that, never ending! Just recently, I added something to my what-makes-mama-so-amazing list which may have topped all the awesome things she is and all the wonders she has done for me, so far.

Something that has been upsetting me for weeks made me broke down in front of mama. I cried my eyes out with matching singhot-sigok-singhot, in between rants. I can't even remember the last time I cried like that with her seeing me. You see, most of the things that worry me, I try to not let mom know. I think I'm such a big girl now, I'd deal with them like a katipunera would. I had thought there's no point worrying her when I could face them on my own. I thought mom was a softie, the 'you cry, I cry' kind of mom. I was so wrong to think of all those things. That was underestimating her. tsk tsk.

Because that night she patiently listened and stayed by my side while I cried a river, it just hit me how strong she actually is and how she's always been my rock. :) So God, this post is to thank You for my out-of-this-world-amazing trouper mama. =*
