Days passed, the laughter I used to hear outside turned into tragic sounds of pain, I heard some people saying “It’s almost
there, darling, push!” It is there then I saw the first light that hit my very eyes. I heard my voice crying, then the plane black room
where I used to be, turned into a white relaxing room. I saw unfamiliar creatures, different kinds of faces, and most of them wore white dresses. I wondering what and who they are. As I
wonder on things, l haven’t noticed that I fell asleep.
By the time I woke up, I saw a very charming person
lying in a bed welcoming me with her sweet and warm
smile. “Who’s this beautiful creature?” I said to myself.
Then, the lady who’s carrying me lend me to that girl.
“What a charming baby you have ma’am” the lady
who’s carrying me a while ago said, while handling me to
this woman. There, then I realize that this woman
carrying me is my mom.
“What shall we name her?” a substantial man ask my
mom while he sits beside her.
“Maybe, Angel, for she looks like an angel.” mom said to
this unfamiliar person.
“Sounds good. I’ll go now process her birth certificate. ”he answered.
As time elapsed, I again entered a new world. More
colorful than the one I have seen. I saw
trees, plants, and animals. Then mom and the man I saw
earlier brought me to a new place again. Full of toys, and
many other things which used to be attractive on one’s
vision. Then this strange man talks..
“Hi! Baby Angel, this is mommy” pointing his finger to
mom.
“Baby, I’m mommy and he’s daddy” pointing to the
strange man beside her.
Then, it is there that I realized that this strange man
is my dad.
Months passed by, I’m now wearing a white cute
dress. Mom and dad were busy preparing themselves and
again, I am wondering what’s happening to this world again.
When we finally arrived at our destination, I surprisingly saw a
man hanging at a cross.
Then I saw different humankind wearing colorful dresses.
When I heard someone saying
“The ceremony is about to start.”
My dad is carrying me with mom on his side. The people I saw wearing those colorful dresses is now having a lighted candle on their hands. I enjoyed watching them responding on the priest’s
ceremony when I felt something cold in my head.
Oh! It’s holy water! I cried loudly for I was
shocked. Then people surrounded me uttering these
words
“Congratulations! Baby Angel, you’re now an
Angel of God.”
There I realized, this day is my baptism. This is
the first day of my life as God’s follower.
Years passed so quickly. I am now starting to know
some things. My mom was my very first teacher, she’s the
one who teaches me how to read, write and do a lot of
amazing things.
I’m now a teenager, a well-grown pretty teenage
girl. I always argue with my mom because I want to
run my life as I wanted to. I don’t want anyone to
prohibit me from doing the things I like.
I used to go out with my friends and been
addicted to hang outs especially at night. I
even don’t attend school sometimes.
Whenever I arrive home late, I always hear my
mom’s voice nagging at me. Well, this time I don’t obey
my mother at all. I’ll just face back and murmur.
I always disobey my mom. I don’t listen to
all her advices. I’m like rebelling against her.
All I think was she is a very strict mom that
would prohibit me to feel what other teenagers
usually feel during this age. All this time, I
don’t listen to mom.
I always think that my mother is somewhat
like the antagonist of my life. She always
regard all of my actions unacceptable.
Sometimes, I get jealous to some of my friends
for they have their freedom and their mothers
have always been supportive to them.
Sometimes I prefer to have their moms as my
mother. I really HATE my mother.
Until one day…..
I am now again in a place
where I first opened my
eyes. I’m here in this white
room again. I really don’t know what exactly had
happened but all I
remember was…….
“LIGHT”
“LIGHT”
When I open my eyes. The
very first person I saw was
my Mom. She’s lying on the
hospital room’s sofa.
The nurse went closer to
me to check my condition
“Are you okay now?” the nurse asked.
“A bit but my back still hurts.” I
answered.
Maybe she noticed that I was staring at
my mother. She looks very tired.
“Good to hear darling, all this time your
mom didn’t leave you. Since the time you
were in the operating room until now.
Your father just brought food here for her
to eat. She’s always her. She never left.
Whenever she sees you lying in this
bed, she always cries.”
Upon hearing this from the nurse, I
cried. I realized how my mom really loves
me despite all the things I ever did to her
and to dad.
Then the nurse goes out…
When my mom noticed that I am already awake.
She stood and sat beside my bed. She’s crying.
“Mom, what happened?”-I asked
“The car which you and your friends are using has
been hit by another car.”
On that very moment, I remember
all the things that had exactly
happened on that night.
It was Saturday when I asked mom to allow me to go
out for some pleasures, but my mom strongly disagreed
because she said that she has this strange feeling that
something’s about to happen. But still, I insisted to go. I
went with my friends without her knowing. I just jumped at
the window to be with my friends who were waiting
outside.
I cried and hugged my mom.
“Mommy, I’m so sorry!” I said.
“Don’t cry. It’s okay.” Mom said in a husky voice.
“Sorry mom, all this time, all I ever gave you was
heartaches and pains. Sorry mom. I love you.”
“It’s okay. Don’t cry. Everything will be fine now.
Nothing bad will going to happen. I won’t let anyone,
anything, to hurt my one and only angel. I hope you
understand now why I am so strict when it comes to
you.”
“Now I understand mom, you are doing it because it’s
for my own good, because you love me so much. I’m so
sorry. I hope that you’ll forgive me. I’ll try to be a better
daughter to you and to dad from now on.”…
“It’s okay. I understand you and I’ll always forgive
you.”
“Thank you mom, I love you”
“I love you more than you can imagine, Angel.”
Then mom hugged and kiss me…
“Some mothers are kissing mothers, and some are scolding
mothers, but the love they try to show is just the same.
Sometimes, we, their children, even misinterpret all their actions
because we always think of our own happiness without even
thinking what they might feel upon doing such things. We, as their
loving sons and daughters, must always remember that our parents
love us despite all the bad things we have showed them and at the
end of the day, it’s still them who is always there willing to be our
shoulder at the times when we’re down. ”
The relationship between a mother and a child
is very special and that is as good as truth. A
mother means the world to a child, it is she
who protects, nourishes, and bestows her
child with love and care. It is she who
sacrifices many things in life to give the best
to her children. A mother's love is something
that no one can explain. It is made of deep
devotion and of sacrifice and pain.
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come
what may. For nothing can destroy it or take that
love away . . .It is patient and forgiving when all
others are forsaking, and it never fails or falters
even though the heart is breaking . . .It believes
beyond believing when the world around
condemns, and it glows with all the beauty of the
rarest, brightest gems . . .It is far beyond
defining, it defies all explanation, And it still
remains a secret like the mysteries of creation . .
. A many splendored miracle man cannot
understand and another wondrous evidence of
God's tender guiding hands.
“A MOTHER IS THE TRUEST FRIEND WE HAVE, WHEN TRIALS HEAVY AND SUDDEN FALL UPON US; WHEN ADVERSITY TAKES THE PLACE OF PROSPERITY; WHEN FRIENDS DESERT US; WHEN TROUBLE THICKENS AROUND US, STILL WILL SHE CLING TO US, AND ENDEAVOR BY HER KIND PRECEPTS AND COUNSELS TO DISSIPATE THE CLOUDS OF DARKNESS, AND CAUSE PEACE TO RETURN TO OUR HEARTS.”
