There are a lot of times when I talk to Mary at night and share my life with her. It feels like a mother-daughter heartfelt conversation. She is not physically present, but emotionally and spiritually, she resides in my heart. I open up to her about my grievances, my worries, my emotions. I end up feeling much lighter afterwards.
There are times when I share my joy with her, and I end up feeling much happier, because she boosts me as a person. I have always tried to talk to her on a daily basis, although I fail sometimes. But I try my best to offer a simple prayer or even chat for a little, because I know she is always glad to hear all my stories.
I have wondered why I’ve been so close her. Maybe it’s because I’m a lady. Maybe it’s because I have a lot to talk about. Maybe it’s because we will never debate. Or maybe its just the simple reason that I love her and that she really is my mother. As her child, she will not tell me what to do; rather she will let something magical in my life to happen so that I will know what to do. As a young lady, she will not warn me on things I have to know; rather she lets me explore life so I would learn and become a strong woman.
Someday I will be a mother like her. And I know for a fact that this will bring us even closer. I will strive my best to emulate her as a mother to her child, as a loving wife to her husband and as a faithful follower of the Lord.
I hope many girls (and boys) realize how grateful we should be to have her as a mother. October should not be just Mary month. Everyday we should do our best to show how much we love our mother from up above, our mother Mary.
