Mothers Day is fast approaching. Advertisement for flowers and other mothers day gifts is starting to flood the TV, radio and in the internet. But who could afford those flowers if you are jobless and only in a retirement pension. I have an idea though to send you a flower from my garden in Boac.( See photo above). This photograph was taken by Gabby Del Rosario, son of Renan and Gilda Del Rosario of Muntinglupa, PI. The Del Rosario family were our guests at Chateau Du Mer in Boac last December, 2008.
Remember motherhood is the hardest and most challenging job in the world. A good mother is not only patient, devoted and loving but also a friend. I hope you have a fun mothers' day. If you are reading this blog, you are one of the many mothers that have touched our lives the last 52 years of our married life. Comments will be appreciated. Dave and Macrine Katague
