Yesterday was Mother's Day and as expected I was still busy with work that I almost forgot all about it. It was good my sons greeted me before I had a chance to go downstairs and have breakfast with my mom. I was able to greet her before anybody else could.

She was scheduled to go to Manila yesterday together with my sister but I was able to convince them to postpone it for today instead, so they can join us to a special dinner last night. It was a very enjoyable one.

To all the mothers out there, belated happy mother's day to all of you. I want to share with you the following poem given to me by Bong of Getz pharma. Here is how it goes.........

A Mother's Love A Mother's Love is like an islandIn life's ocean vast and wide,A peaceful, quiet shelterFrom the restless, rising tide...

A Mother's Love is like a fortressAnd we seek protection thereWhen the waves of tribulationSeem to drown us in despair...

A Mother's Love's a sanctuaryWhere our souls can find sweet restFrom the struggle and the tension Of life's fast and futile quest...(author unknown)
