Today is Mother’s Day!!!
You might be thinking, but isn’t Mother’s Day on Sunday? (For those of you living in the USA.) Correct, but in Guatemala they celebrate Día de la Madre on May 10th every year. And it might be surprising, but Mother’s Day is celebrated on different days all over the world. I’d love to go into that and discuss the different traditions and celebrations for different cultures, but in this post I want to celebrate a very special woman who I get to call my mother.
You know the typical phrase “You’re turning into your mother!” And every daughter rolls her eyes and denies the fact that they are turning into their mother! Yep, I’m included in those rolling-eye-daughters.
But in all actuality, I don’t think us daughters need to react that way when someone tells them you remind them of your mother.
I think there is a full-circle type of relationship between a mother and a daughter. You’re a kid and you want everything that involves mommy. You grow into a teenager and are annoyed, roll your eyes at their comments, talk back to them and don’t want anything to do with them because they embarrass you.
Then you grow into an adult, graduate from college and then move back home with mom and dad. They take you in with no questions, no ands, ifs or buts. You’re now an adult and having to figure out your life. You realize your family is always there for you, especially your mom and dad. So you and your mom become really close and again want want everything (well almost everything haha) that involves your mom.
Ya see, full-circle.
Maybe it’s only me that has this “lifecycle” of relationship with my mother.
My mom and I never had a bad relationship, we just never saw eye-to-eye during my teenage years. I wasn’t a rebel, but I didn’t always respect my parents. I talked back, I gave them attitude, I rose my voice when I should have just listened—typical things like that that make any parent’s lives difficult.
But yet, my mom always forgave me. She always told me she loves me and that she will always support me.
After I graduated from college, my mom and I got closer than ever. I moved back home and we bonded over coffee on Saturday mornings, margaritas at happy hour, wedding planning with a little bit of wine. I learned more about my mom, and about myself, in that year and a half, and I’m forever grateful for those little moments we spent together.
Now being away, those are the moments I miss the most. Waking up on a Saturday morning to the smell of coffee coming from downstairs. Making plans to meet after work at Mamacita’s. Going to church on Sundays and lunch afterwards. I miss you every day mom. Don’t ever forget that.
I’ve been away from Texas for two years now, but the minute I hopped on the plane and have been away from my family, there are so many occurrences where I’ve realized that I really do sound like my mother!! I still roll my eyes at that idea, but I have this sense of pride in being compared to my mom. I love my mom so much, she’s the woman, along with our dad, who has given me and my sisters their everything.
There is nothing we can give back to them to thank them enough. We love you so much!
(You get two Mother’s Days now since I’m living in Guatemala!)
Thank you mom for your love, your patience, for teaching me right from wrong, for supporting me always. Thank you for trusting in me, for letting me follow my dreams, for showing me perseverance and reminding me that everything is going to be okay.
Thank you for giving me the backbone to stick up for myself, for the happiness you give me after a long, hard day. Thank you allowing me to be independent, and depend on you when I need to. Thank you for showing me how to do my makeup, and for doing my makeup when I still need the help.
Thank you for making me laugh and for laughing at my ridiculous jokes. Thank you for watching over me and taking care of me when I’m hurt. Thank you for getting mad at me when I was in the wrong. Thank you for teaching me how to be a good person.
Thank you for everything.
I love you.

Its like you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot
approximately this, like you wrote the e book in it or something.
I feel that you simply could do with some % to pressure the message house a bit,
but other than that, this is fantastic blog. A fantastic read.
I’ll definitely be back.
I think that what you wrote made a bunch of sense.
However, what about this? what if you were to create a killer post title?
I am not suggesting your content is not solid, however what if you added a title to possibly grab people’s attention?
I mean Let’s Celebrate Mamas! Happy Mother’s Day – An Eternal Spring is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they
write post headlines to get people to click. You might add a
related video or a related picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve written. In my opinion, it could bring your posts a
little livelier.
hi! Pada kesempatan ini aku (Mario) bakal mengisahkan fakta yang merubah hidup aku seumur
hidup, yaitu Judi. Aku adalah bocah kelahiran Surabaya, dari keluarga yang biasa
– biasa aja. Tidak kurang makan, tidak berlebih, bisa dapat edukasi tapi juga bukan di sekolah yang bagus.
Umumnya hidup aku berjalan tawar saja seperti seharusnya yang
dilewati oleh anak – anak sebaya aku, tapi aku memiliki
watak yang diadopsi oleh tokoh – tokoh di
Anime(Kartun Jepang), aku berpikir bahwa diri
aku merupakan seorang tokoh utama, orang special, dimana hal besar menunggu aku di kemudian hari,
dimana masa depan menantiku bersama kunci mobil Mclaren.
Suatu hari, sobat baik aku (Michael) mengundang
aku datang ke rumah untuk nonton movie Hollywood terbaru yaitu
‘The Gambler’, dimana di film tersebut mengisahkan tentang seorang profesor bahasa Inggris
yang candu berjudi. Seperti biasanya, movie berakhir dengan kedramatisan karakter
utama yang memiliki jalan keluar yang mutakhir untuk mengakhiri masalah.
Bedanya dongeng yang akan aku ceritakan dengan dongeng The
Gambler adalah yang menulis ceritaku lupa memasukan fitur happy ending.
Aku pikir trailer sudah cukup jelas, supaya tidak menunda – nunda,
LANGSUNG SAJA, pasang dan kencangkan sabuk pengaman tuan dan nyonya.
Dalam perjalanan pulang dari rumah kawanku, aku terus berpikir di atas Honda Beat
milik ayahku. Apakah ini jalanku ?, mungkinkah dia memutar movie tersebut
merupakan sebuah takdir ?. Sudah pasti diriku yang naif dan narsis tersebut menelan itu tanpa berpikir lebih lanjut.
Dimulai dari waktu itu, tidak pernah aku membiarkan diriku tidak mempelajari judi.
Judi bola, slot, bakarat, blackjack, poker. Dalam kurun waktu
6 bulan aku sudah menjadi seorang pakar, mengenai memprediksi gejala pertandingan sepak bola jika ada pristiwa – pristiwa
tak terduga(kartu kuning/merah, pergantian pemain), berhitung kartu, menganalisa
raut muka, saat utk menambah dan menurunkan taruhan di mesin slot.
Dan pada satu waktu aku mau mencoba berjudi lewat judi kasino online.
Aku register di sebuah situs judi online Indonesia yang bernama
*******, website tersebut menayangkan tampilan Arabian Nights yang menarik dan tidak sama dengan yang kompetitornya.
Aku berimpian dengan pelor idr 300ribu, aku langsung memasuki permainan sports dimana aku mau memasang taruhan pertandingan sepak bola.
Saat itu sedang akan tampil pertandingan yang ditunggu –
tunggu oleh spesies homo sapien, El Clasico(BarcelonaVSRealMadrid).
Aku membaca pasaran yang tersedia, dan mengambil sikap untuk menunggu peperangan tersebut bergulir(bola jalan).
Bersambung.
