Mom

There was a heavy downpour and like any other downpours we experienced in the past we never expected that this will end up in a tragic way. My mom and I were in a hurry to get out of the house and move to an elevated place but the surging of water was too fast for my mom. I was holding her hands tightly but the water was too strong for the both of us. I just realized that she's no longer with me. I tried to save her but it was too late. She's gone. 


I didn't want to cry in front of my sisters because I know they need their kuya to be strong at this point in time. So I held back my tears and showed no emotions but deep inside my heart is crying out loud. I love my mom so much. 


I only had two hours of sleep. I thought it was real. When I woke up I realized that I was already crying and my heart literally was aching. I realized a lot of things after that bad dream. 


I was still crying when I woke up because I never had the chance to say how much I love her..that we love her.  I would have gone out of bed and hug her but she's in Cagayan De Oro at this time so I quickly grabbed my phone and texted her about my dream and told her how much I love her..how much we love her..


I will never take her for granted after this. I love you mom!!
