Mother's Day and My Birthday Celebrations

 First of all, Happy Mother's Day to all great moms out there. Every year, my birthday is either moms day or a day before or after, so  we always celebrate it at the same time. This year is different because they have a surprise birthday family get together for me. Honestly, i don't have any clue that they will be doing this on my birthday, all i know is that we are going to have a community pantry to help our neighbors. To cut the story short, i was overwhelmed with gratefulness that i cannot eat and somehow put me on a floating mode. It takes time for me to sink in and i am really thankful to all my kiddos for a successful birthday surprise. Thanks to my ever loving, caring and generous daughters Bel & Astrid for the cash gifts and pricey bag. Kudos to my other kiddos  Arianne, Aizza and the big boys for their participation in the surprise birthday preparations and for the community pantry. Thanks again for other members of the family who in one way or another helped and share their time and effort especially Buddy who is always supportive of my advocacy. I am not that too showy but deep inside my heart, i am really overwhelmed with happiness. Thanks again Lord, for the gift of life and for having wonderful children. By the way, i was also able to visit my mom's grave at Everlasting Memorial Park before proceeding to kids house. Up to now i am still in cloud nine and will be forever thankful for all the love and respect my kids and grandkids are giving on me. 

To complete my day, i also have a short but precious celebrations with dear neighbor friends at Coffee Bean. Over Chamomile Tea and spicy tuna bread, we have a never ending talks about the present situations especially the vaccines. We share ideas on how to boost our immune systems and how we can protect our families.
