happy mother's day mama!

your attention please.

you know how the saying goes action speaks louder than words?

my mama is never the wordy type. you see, i come from a family who has a hard time expressing our love towards each other through words. we never say i love you in public. but there is this one incident that really stands out. while having a casual conversation with mama, she asked me if i still have plans of settling down, get married and start a family. i, of course, immediately dismissed the idea. but what she said after that moved me, she said: "if i'm already gone, who will take care of you?". up to this day, every time i remember this, i get teary eyed. while i'm writing this post, my eyes are swelling with tears. it's true, mothers will always love you unconditionally. they may not say it all the time, but every inch of them screams their love towards their children.

mama may not not always say she loves me, but i know she loves me no matter what, gay or straight.

happy mother's day ma! i love you.
