"Yesterday was Mother's day. The least I know is that we made mom TIRED. :))"
It was sunny. It wasn't an ordinary day. It was Mother's Day! Mother's day don't mean a thing to me *not until now* because I remembered: Around May 2004 when I decided to buy my mom a gift but she's with us in the grocery store (Rustans in Shangri-la Mall), so, meaning, she won't be surprised.
I decided to go to the other counter where I could be as far as mom is. I bought her something.
It was a long queue. I was getting nervous. "Baka makita ako ni mommy! Baka malaman niya!" I was looking at the person infront of me with furious eyes that he made his way walking faster. Then, it's my turn. I purchased then followed them. They are waiting "Ano yang binili mo?" My mom asked. "Candy lang po." I answered. I waited 'till we finished shopping then reached the car. We packed the groceries we've bought and then, went inside. It was a long ride until we reached home. That's when I told dad that I should be giving it to her. *kasangkot ko si daddy.
Then she received it. She asked. "Ano 'to?" She stared at it and then said "Dapat iba na lang ang binili mo. Anong gagawin ko dito?"
Of course, I was little and young back then so I started to cry. It broke my heart for her having been said those things. I've tried my best to buy her a gift but then she refused to take it and she teased it. I was so sad. I was in tears. I was soaked with tears!
Then...
My dad was laughing. My mom is laughing too. Wait? Was this some kind of a joke? Then she said. "Joke lang naman. Thank you!" She gave me a kiss.
Mothers have their way of showing love and affection for their family. We may not see it or we may have ignored it but they are trying the best they could to really show how valuable their family is to them.
AND That's why I don't give gifts to her during Mother's Day. As a result, she's the one treating us! She buys us what we want.
See? It's her day but what she know is, It's her family's day. :')
