Some shared fond memories of their mothers before she passed away.
Black K wrote, “She told me (when she was still alive) that I will work abroad and that I will be able to help my family then. Four years after her death, it came true. She is not here anymore to savor the earthly rewards way back then but I always pray that she is in the eternal comforts in heaven. Mama, you know how we love you. Till we meet again.”
Menchi H. shared, “life is a cycle whatever you planted you will reap..so let’s spread love, love, love and love. I know you’re now happy and at peace with The Almighty.. you’re now our angel up there.. we miss you so much..”

A woman has strengths that amaze men, She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens, She holds happiness, love, and opinions, She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when feels like crying, cries when she’s happy and laughs when she’s afraid. Her love is unconditional! There’s only one thing wrong with her, she sometimes forgets what she is worth. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO YOUR NANAY, MOM, INAY, and MAMA!!!

A mother is a woman who has, conceived, given birth to, and raised a child.Because of the complexity and differences of a mothers’ social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother to suit a universally accepted definition.
