A Mother's love for her child
Is like nothing else in the
world. It knows no law, no
Pity
, it dares all the things
and crushes down remorselessly all that
stands its path.

-Agatha Christie 

A mother gives her children
stepping stones to the stars.
Her love is unconditional,
Her heart has no bars.

-Katheryn Anna

No more hugs,
No more loves,
Mo more a Mother
does
. My has gone
away, but I know
I will see 
Again in Heaven

Someday. My heart is Broken
and I am Blue
I love you, mom!
And God does too!

-Tammy Flanigan

Best Friends Forever!
Me and Mom!
Picking flowers and
climbing trees.
A shoulder to cry on,
Secrets to share,
Warm hearts and
Hands that really care.

-Unknown

So much for a Mother's love, the love that I have been craving since I lost her. I loved her so much that I almost lost it when I found out she died. 

Seeing the kids in the orphanage hurts me. It hurts to see these kids who were hungry for love and affection. 

I have always thought that I am the unluckiest daughter in my life but here I am, still alive and well. That is because of my mother's love. My mother's sacrifice for me. 

I know that she's guiding me in heaven with God, I can sometimes feel her presence every time I'm feeling down or when I had the best time of my life. 

Even though she's physically no longer with me, I can feel her spiritually. 

As I rushed my daughter to the hospital I felt her by my side, guiding me to the path I go. 

I may not be able to see her, but my heart doesn't lie. It doesn't the fact that she's here with me. Sleeping beside my daughter, I know she's watching me.

I know because that's what my heart tells me. 

If she were alive right now, I bet she'd be proud of me. She would've met her son-in-law and my adopted daughter. And as soon as she stepped into my home, I knew she's going to be with me until she's old enough to have a boyfriend. 

I promised myself to take care of her no matter what then this? She's in a freaking hospital bed, sleeping so deeply and I can't do anything about it. 

I face the altar and put my hands together. "Mother please..." I started. "If you're really here, give sign of her that she's waking up soon." I plead.

I prayed and prayed hoping she will be waking up soon and when she does, I promise to pay more attention to her. Even if it means to be a little hard on her.

All of the sudden, so much light conquered the room. The light was blinding, but so calm and peaceful, not to mention warm. 

My heart is pounding that I don't know what was gong to happened next, as a figured of a lady showed up in front of me.

I felt my chest tighten in a good way as I feel a familiar presence coming to me.

The figured lady has long wavy ginger-red hair with a perfect body of a model and she looks like someone I know in a simple white dress.

My widen as I realized what could possibly be happening and who the lady is...

"Mother..." I mumbled.

"Yes, my daughter. You called?" Her voice was a bit of echo-y  as I can really see her whole.

"Mother..." I said as tears gathered in my eyes as I walk towards her. "Mother!" I said as I hug her but I ran pass her.

I hit myself on the sofa as I caress my back hip.

"Gomen, are you alright?"

"Mother, is this really you? Or am I dreaming?"

"No, you are not, my daughter. You are not dreaming." She said calmly. "Look at me, I am here talking to you because you called."

"Mother, I-I don't know what to do... She... she's in a hospital bed and-"

"Hush, baby. Hush!" She said. "Things will not be the same if even if you go back in time." 

"Mother, she's my daughter now. I-It's my responsibility to..."

"I know, I know." She said. "You are worried, I get it, but you have to calm down a little. She's brave, I know she is."

"Mother, she's his-"

"I know, baby. I know." 

She really knows how to clam me down, does she? 

I just hope that if she's in my position, I know how to calm her down. 

Mother and I were sitting on the sofa as I let her embrace me.

"Do you know anything about being a mother?" She asked.

I shook my head. "No, not really..."

She chuckled. "Thought so." 

"Am I doing a good job?"

"Baby, Mothers are different. You are different from me, and you don't have to be me to prove that." She said. "You know what they say, A daughter is God's way of saying, 'thought you could use a lifelong friend. I means, she became your daughter for a reason, baby. Maybe she'd be the one who's going to heal your wound in your heart when you lost me." 

Her statement made me tear up, but she just wipe it out instead of scolding me.

"What if I fail of being a good mother to her?"

"We mothers are learning to mark our mothering success by our daughters' lengthening flight. Remember that, baby."  She said gently poking my nose. "You know, when I found out that I was pregnant with you, I was scared."

I turn to her. "Why?"

"I was scared that I might not be able to be with you until you grow old."

"At least you get to see me until I was six." I said with tears gathering in my eyes.

"Yeah, but when you finally came out of me, all of the pain I felt washed away when I heard you cries and when I held you, it was like everything I bared the last nine months were nothing." She stated making all emotional. "You are my first born, you remind me of the goodness in this world and inspire me to be the greatest version of myself." She said then kiss me on the forehead.

"Mother, I have always felt your presence everywhere I go, were you watching me this whole time?"

"Yes. Yes, I have been watching you and your brothers."

I smiled at her when noticed that she's fading away. I knew she's going to go now but I still want her to stay with me more.

"Mother..." I said as tears gathering in my eyes again.

She shushed me. "A word of advice, be a mother to whatever method you use, and never let you daughter see you cry. It will break her heart."  She said then she finally fades away.

I sob quietly upon knowing I can no longer see her. "Mother..."

I turned to the sleeping daughter of mine.

I walk towards her then kisses her forehead. "I promise to never let you down," I was hesitant to say it but I still said it anyway. "Yasmin."

I will take care and love her like my own, and raise her to be a better warrior than her Father and I. 

Mother and daughter never truly part, maybe in distance but never in heart;  And someday when the pages of my life end, I know that you will be one of the most beautiful chapters. I thought with so much joy.
