Tomorrow will be a holiday and recognized by most of us around the world as All Saint's Day. During this day, we visit our loved ones who already passed away and we spend time with them. Most families will gather together as they reminisce the past and the memories they had with their loved ones.
As I write this article, I remember one of my loved one who already passed away - my mom. Yes, she's gone from this world for more than 4 years now and yet the memories she left with us are still fresh as if those happened yesterday. She has been a very good mom, a model for me and my 2 other siblings. She taught us what is good and her teachings are always with me. I remember that she always tell me to lower my pride and learn to accept mistakes. I know that it's a hard thing to do but eventually I am able to change my self. Also, to thank others for what they did to me no matter how simple it may be. Another thing that she always tell me is to be sensitive to others, too bad until know I think I'm not that sensitive to what others may think and feel *sigh*. She also told me not to smoke as well as drink alcoholic beverages. Maybe that's why I do not smoke and it's really hard for me to drink alcoholic beverages, though I tried some but it really take time for my friends to let me drink even a single shot.
I think she had been strict in my toilet training during my toddlerhood that's why I'm am somehow an obsessive compulsive person. I want everything to be organize though not as O.C. as others. Or maybe because she wants to discipline me so I will be a good child of God. I remember that she told me, one time when she was cleaning our house, she told me to just stay in one place in our house and I just sit there until she told me to leave that place. As I studied the growth and development as well as the normal behavior of children, I noticed that what I did was different from the normal behavior of children at that age. Everytime I study pediatric nursing, I always remember how my life was during my younger years. How my mom teach me everything what she could though I know that I did not care about that before. There are a lot of things she taught me during my younger years but what she always told us is to do everything for God. If what I do is for him, then what I will do will be good and will make other people happy.
With all the teachings of my mom, I would like to thank her for everthing. What I am now and the foundation I had in terms of my values and behavior are all molded by her. She had been really great and wherever I go, I'll always carry her memories with me.
