Mom & Mama, We’ll always miss you…


I have two moms in my lifetime. My mom and my mother-in-law. Two of the sweetest mothers one could ever ask for. Two of the kindest people. Two of my mom’s.

But tragedy struck. We didn’t know that both our mom’s would leave us for a good reason. To finally rest. No more hassles. No more problems. No more hurts. Just eternal bliss. At the peak of their lives, they already have helped so many people in so many ways…without expecting anything in return. The Lord God knows, the children they left behind followed in their footsteps. Footsteps spawned during the Second World War. Hiatus during the American era and congealed by war’s endless afflictions. Mom and Mama concealed the pains they brought during their adolescent years. Ravished by time elemental. Sweetened by values immemorial. They nurtured their children with principles and loving doctrine. Never would they allow the ravages of war to wound the future of the next generation. Lessons learned. Lessons taught. Lessons passed through generations of Alloso’s and Alvarico’s.

Now they’ve gone. Joining our Creator in never-ending tranquility.

Peace at last.

Home.

We’ll miss you!
