last saturday, for my mom’s bday (and perze’s) we went to take my aunt and cousin to Longwood Gardens.  Even though my mom has a severe case of spring allergies, she would still LOVE to visit this place because she is definitely a lover of plants and flowers. One of her interests and passions is gardening.  Did you know that?  She and my dad spend countless hours outside in our backyard beautifying the area.

                                            (L to R:  em, my tita son, and my mom)

i just wanted to say happy birthday to my strong and sacrificial mom. she turned 60 this year so it’s a very special year.  she’s loved by all her four children and people outside our immediate family knows how giving and generous she is, always charitable to our relatives…that’s one thing i hope i can continue that she’s exemplified to me and my siblings. 

not only is she a selfless mother, but an extremely loving and involved lola.  i love you ma. God bless you even more.
