t'was mother's day. my daughter bought me "i love you, mom" doughtnuts. her little cousin steph was so hungry, and they were so cute (and edible). so irresistible for a 7 year old. :)
and then, she made this ... an altar for mom. :)
... and me the orphan :( ... another Mother's day without mama. Seasons like this, the vacuum is heightened. The void colder. And that pit, deeper and darker. A empty space in your heart that's only meant for mothers.

| This one I made for mama knowing she super adores her one and only apo. My mother kept this on her cabinet until the day of her passing. It now belongs to Sophie, my daughter, an heirloom from Lola Miles. |
*** and timely, a few days before this special day, me and Tesang, as another friend seriously contemplates on divorce, briefly, on separation and children and it brought me back to that time ...
Her name was Nora, from Egypt, and this was his* answer to her: "Later, as adult children of parents who were separated, they can draw on a model that says you don't have to go down with a sinking ship. Their parents didn't unravel the family by separating. Rather, they separated because the family had already unraveled. Would you want your daughter or son to stay in a chronically unhappy marriage? Then be careful what you model. I would say try to be happy yourself. Kids should be happy and feel secured with the happy parents. I hope you find a way to be happy, married or divorced. So should you stay together for the kids? It depends on how high-conflict your marriage is, how unhappy you are, and whether or not you can fix these things. Being happy is the best thing you could do for your kids." *Neill Squared ***Sharing this for its truest worth. :) |
