I had a meeting with our students' parents today. I appreciate their mere presence in school during the meeting. They really wanted to see how their kids fare in school. Some parents were not around and I understand why. Most of them are working parents and they just send representatives for them. Although maybe some were working parents yet they try to find some time to attend the meeting knowing how important it is to show support to our children.
It does count to our kids when we attend such meetings for their sake. Once when we were camping I heard one of my students saying, "My parents do not really care about me... they were too busy to even visit me in this camp. Their mind is on our business always I don't think they even care about me"....Of course it isn't true. I knew those parents she mentioned. I knew how they work hard for their children just to send them to school. Their children had been my former students as well and they had shown support to them before. Maybe this one who joined the camp was at that time passing through what we call puberty stage. I really noticed some changes in her then. She felt she isn't loved because her peers get things she couldn't get from her parents. At that time she couldn't understand her parents situation and that they need to earn a living for them. She is actually just like some students who would easily rebel against their parents without even thinking about the hardships or sacrifices their parents had done for them. I guess peer pressure is another factor to consider when we rebel against our parents.....
So during the meeting with parents I asked them to show concern and love to their children but make sure that their children will appreciate that love given to them....Make sure that your children remain respectful of you coz it isn't enough that we provide them love but we should also teach them the value of appreciating that love we share with them....What love was it then?....It should be true love....true concern....Let us not spoil our children....because when they could no longer get what they wanted all those sacrifices and love that we had provided them will just be in vain..

Oh^^ my mom got what she wanted^^....Supposed to be she still has to stay at the hospital for a day....but she insisted on going home....She is as stubborn as me^^....
"So do you have fevers at night? the doctor asked....."NO.....Mama said....

"How about phlegm?....."OH NO"....

Oh my.....so yesterday she was back home.....and all of us, her children, missed her so much.....She was only out for a day but we want her to be home already....So we were so happy yesterday^^.....In a way we her children are her strength.....It makes her forget whatever pains she might be going through.....I guess we cannot surpass the love of our parents to us.....and really there's no place like home....
We all have some moments that we cherished in our lives...
This one really touched me so deeply...It was when I had to take an examination and I had to leave at early dawn...My parents woke up earlier than I and even prepared breakfast for me...The three of us shared an early meal then while my siblings were all asleep and when it was time for me to leave (I had to walk several blocks to my classmates house) they didn't take their eyes off me until I reached my destination...at early dawn I could see them looking at me from a distance..standing near our gate...and waved at me as I turn my back once in a while to see if they're still looking at me...and yes they did...
It was still dark then but I felt like all the lights in the world were lighted because I felt the love they had for me...
This is an old post which I did for Moms.......
The first one is somebody else's Mom but I want to let her know that I admire her for being such a wonderful Mom.
A Mother's Perspective
When mother was still a child,
her Mom used to pamper her;
But then she grew up unspoiled,
and knew the things she must offer...
She married father eagerly,
and learned to sweep, clean, and cook,
And blessed with daughters of three,
but missed all the fun she had refused.
Left her kids to someone's concern,
to feel the joy she left behind..
She went her way and in return,
missed all her kids she wished to find...
Then one day while she was working,
boss was busy throwing a frown;
But a phone call brought some relief,
her daughter's fever had come down...
All at once the news she received
became important than a man's greed...
Suddenly she realized that,
Being a mother puts some things,
In a wonderful perspective.
Finally, to my own Mama....I love her so much...She's getting old already, turning seventy nine years old tomorrow....
To My Mama...Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's day to you....
You gave the last drop of milk for me...
When I was throwing tantrums at night
You sang all the songs to make me alright
When I had to receive a communion
You sewed the best dress I had known
When my world turned upside down
You had been my clown
When I had to go my way
you made me stay
So for you Mama I'll never go
I'll stay to love you
now and forever
I love you Mama with all my heart....
