"Her Legacy"

She may not be an educated woman but she always said that it is better for a person to know nothing than to become disrespectful. She always reminded me that if you are an educated person you must show higher respect to other people. Sometimes, she will relate her story when she was a child how she struggled to finish elementary, she worked in a hacienda for four days and then went to school for one day but she still she's able to get an honor during recognition day. How she wish to have higher education but she bear to see her mother working alone to find food for her other siblings. SHE WAS A ; CHILD LABORER. Thus, she decided to work as a housemaid at 12 and gave all her income to her mother. She bought a land and called it her home.

She may not be the most elegant person. She lives with simplicity. Her spirit was very cool. I never heard her shouting or yelling to her children. She always show to us how to communicate in a humane way. She was not afraid if she did not dressed up well for according to her beauty is not within our dress but within our heart.

She always said that we do not have slaves so we should work for ourselves. We should treat everyone as we would like to be treated.

According to her it is good for man to dream but if reaching your dreams mean sacrificing other people's interest it may be good for you to stay where you are.

She has many friends and considered them her treasures.

She many not have everything, she desired in this world but she always said there is no reason for us to blame anyone or blame God for whatever fate we have right now.

I believed in her. I believed in everything she teaches because I know it is coming from her life experience and I believe that this lessons are real and not what she read.

Her life is like a book for me.

She give me a lifetime legacy.

SHE IS MY MOTHER.

Advance Happy Mother's Day. How I wish I could join you but not now. Maybe soon.
