mom…

My mom left Naga this morning…to Manila, then tomorrow night on her birthday, she would be going back to Dominica.

  She went home to the Philippines after 10 years of absence.  Dad and mom are working in Dominica as doctor and med-tech respectively.  My brother and I lived in that Caribbean island for 7 years and went back here just three years ago… 

How do I feel now?  Of course, sad…I thought I would be relieved when she leaves because despite my heavy load in school she would insist that I give her time…Other people go home after a long day to sleep…I have to face the computer, but after mom is ok–after Ive told her what was up in school that day…Now I just miss her seemingly endless chatter…  I wish she were here.  I am willing to start my work at 2 am just so she sleeps before I do my homework and projects…

I feel so safe when she is here.  She has solved many problems during her two month stay.  I wish she were here during the times I was so depressed…during the times some people I trusted let me down. 

All I can say for now is that I am happy she is coming back to Dad… Happy Happy birthday Mom!!!
