It's almost 2 hours since I started composing this blog...
Had about 5 drafts of poems, and almost finished 1, but I was never satisfied.
I kept on praying... asking for His guidance as I write...
Several attempts of creating the best piece for Nanay... but I just cant.
Then I stood up, took my cup and made coffee...
I kept squeezing my brain as I walk along the hallway, hoping that some great idea will pop out;
While waiting for the water to boil, I embraced the silence, took a deep breath and listen to what my heart says...
Then I realized that in as much as I wanted to compose a masterpiece for Nanay's day,
It will never happen.
The greatest gift that my heart desires is far beyond these words...
Not a thousand stanzas of poem or a novel about mother will fulfill my longing...
Because more than anything, I want to hug her today.
No words can express how much I love her...
And how much I am missing her...
I love you so much Nay...
and so with my other Nanays:
Ditse, Sanse, Ninang, Tita Neng, Tita Elsa, Tita Alice, Tita Ine and Mama Ric
Praise God for your lives... I love you.
KALI: Only a life lived for His glory is a life worth living...

This made me teary-eyed! We really are luck to have so many "nanays" each with her own unique sense of "nanayisms."
