i have a variety of names to call her…

i can call her “nurse” - for the way she took care of me from that moment the pregnancy result turned positive up to this very day. no one could ever take care of me better than she does.

i can call her “teacher” - for she taught me the most important lessons in life. lessons that i could never learn even if i stay in school in my lifetime.

i can call her “lawyer” - for her enormous strength to always defend me, no matter what.

i can call her “operator” - for she is always there to answer every call i make. No matter what time of the day.

i can call her “best friend” - for all the times she understood me no matter how difficult i am to decipher and for all the times she has listened to me when no one else wanted to…

i can call her any name… but there is one that can encapsulate all those…

i call her “mama”…

…for all those things she does for me, and more…

she is the driving, pushing force i need whenever i slow down…
she is the person i would like to be someday…
she is everything i need all summed up into one…

i ♥ you ma…

When Heaven Calls

When the time comes
and I'd have to go, ahead of you
to that place, that promised place
where happiness is absolute
let me...
and when I'm there
in that place, that special place
that everyone calls home
our memories will linger.

When the time comes
and I'd have to go, ahead of you
to that place, that divine place
where love is overflowing
trust...
that though I'm there
in that place, that happy place
where everyone's enchanting
my heart will stay the same.

When the time comes
and I'd have to go, ahead of you
to that place, that blissful place
where fears and tears are never heard of
carry on...
for somewhere
in that place, that wonderful place
where time doesn't run out
I'll be waiting for you.

When the time comes
and i'd have to go, ahead of you
to that place, that beautiful place
where life never ends
don't fade...
for one day
in that place, that perfect place
where everthing's perpetual
you'll find me again.

Life-truths

Being a student-nurse opened my eyes to constant “life truths” that some people couldn’t see even with their eyes wide open…

They say, life is short… but that’s not true to all when you measure life by years.. What makes life short is the uncertainty of when it ends.

Life is unpredictable.. There’s no way to tell when it must begin, and when it must end.. Life, ours and others’, just like anything that begins, ends.. And when it does, it can never be taken back.. So we have to take advantage of the time that we and the people we love, still have left…

Live and love like there’s no tomorrow…

Unless you’re sure there still is…
