I can vividly remember the day you walked into my life. That shy person with a smiling face. Everyone calls you Mommy Jhen, so that was how I addressed you too. As I recall, you were always early. You wanted to make sure that you had enough time to prepare before we start our shift. You were asking me a lot when we were still working together but I never declined you, not even once. I begun to grow affection towards you. You were a friend, a companion, a mother and a sister all at once.

We shared so much memories together. Memories that are now slowly playing inside my head as I write this composition. I'll miss you Mom. My heart breaks right now. I can't explain how painful it is to hear about your passing.

This pandemic has taken so much from me. My career, my health, my friends, and all the usual things in my life. I can't be the same person anymore. And it sucks because I couldn't do anything about it. And now you being gone because of this virus, it's like the disease is now getting closer to me. And it scares me. I have lost two friends this year already. And I don't think I could take an additional one for the time being.

Mommy, wherever you are, I wish you're happy. You get some rest okay? I love you so much and I'll always will. I will remember your teachings. I will carve your words in my heart and engrave your love in my soul. I miss you. And I'll be missing you always.

Thank you for being such a nice person to me. For treating me kindly. For showing me that not all mothers are evil. For giving advices when I am lost with my own thoughts and dreams. No words can express how devasted I am right now. Please watch over me. Please be happy.

I love you! Rest in peace Mom.
