Erlinda:The General in Villa Ilaya

General.Commander. These are usually the fancy terms which my relatives and family members call my mother. Grabe naman kase ang Inay minsan. Ang tapang. She's like a general with machine gun.

But my Inay is one in a million.

Inay will celebrate her birthday tomorrow. Happy 62nd bday Mommy!

Oh yeah! I sent cash as birthday gift(via LBC) yesterday. I do hope she'll feel my love kahit i'm quite far from her.

Inay you will always be here in my heart. You'll always be my source of strength now that I'm struggling so hard in facing my obligations to your two grandchildren. I do remember your hardships esp when I was studying in college. I acknowledge your sacrifices in order to give me a better life. You still love me despite of my failure in helping my siblings build a better future.

Everytime I feel so down I think of you. I think of our precious moments. I think of how you took care of me when I was young. I think of your courage and strength in facing life's challenges. And maybe...those are the things that I got from you. I face problems squarely just like you. Hmmmm there's one thing that I did not get from you....di ako nagger hehehe

At this point, I wanna say "thank you" for all the love that you gave me. May you have many birthdays to come. May you always feel that I am here for you. Your Michelle will always do her best to give only happiness. Your Michelle Inay will not share or give you burden to the best of her ability.....because this is the only way I could show my love for you.
