Please pray for mama… August 26, 2009

I’ve been in a daze for weeks now. We’ve been going back and forth to the hospital because of mama’s thyroid problem and other related stuff. Finally, the needed surgery will be happening this Friday and although for so long I have been waiting for her vitals to be stable and great so that her bunch of doctors could clear her, now I feel the nervousness creeping in.
Last Monday, we met with her surgeon and I totally believed him when he said he’s putting mama’s safety first and foremost and that it had to take this long just so we are all sure that she’s fit and ready for it. But when he discussed all the possibilities during and after the operation, I felt scared. This is going to be mama’s second major operation apart from all the CS she had to undergo for us four and I am sure she is in fighting form for this one as well but knowing that she’ll go through difficulties again makes me weak and this is not the right time to be one.
She is my favorite person in the whole world and I’ll go crazy if something bad happens to her. So I am asking everyone who happens to be reading this to please pray for the success of her operation and her fast recovery. Her case is a complicated one as her doctor had described but this is the only way to do it and I so believe that God’s hands are upon us. HE’s the only reason I manage to keep my strong self in front of everyone and HE will be the cause of mama’s healing.
Mama’s tough and she has survived similar situations in the past and I am confident we can get through this.
Maraming Salamat Cory! August 4, 2009

I thank you for standing up for the Filipinos at a time when no one else would, for fighting oppression and tyranny and celebrating freedom and democracy.
I thank you for being a faithful servant of God, a loving wife to your husband, a courageous and doting mother to your children – for being the example we needed before, now and in the future. And most of all, for being unselfish and for sacrificing your peace and life for the Filipinos.
I have not been as lucky as the people who were there when it all happened, when you fought for us. But my parents were there; my aunts and uncles, my elder cousins and most of the people whom I most treasure were witnesses and beneficiaries of your strength and principles. What you did for these people, you did for me and for the next generations to come.
You deserve the peoples’ love and respect and to lie in our memories, in our remaining years, as we continue to uphold the battle for freedom, that you once led.
May the heavens welcome you in the most lavish way and reward you for taking in your hands the welfare of so many people and for doing so in the most selfless way one could ever imagine.
