MY MOTHER, MY FIRST BEST FRIEND silentmover
Valleyrei was eight when Nanay told her, "You are not a weed. You are a wild flower."
At twenty-six, with three mustard seeds in her pocket and her children back home, Valleyrei left the Philippines to work abroad. She missed birthdays. Valentines. Christmas. New Year. While she was far away, Nanay stood as mother to her children.
Told across five seasons - Wild Flower, Mustard Seed, Banaue, Cloud, and Moon River - this is the story of a daughter who became a mother, a mother who became an OFW, and the best friend who held their family together through it all.
For every mother who had to leave to give her child a future. For every Nanay who raised her grandchildren like her own. For everyone who lost their first best friend and is learning how to come home to herself.
You are here. You are home. You saved your soul.
