How I wish God created moms to be omnipresent; at least – to be with their children (simultaneously) in two or three different places. I wish He made them to be invulnerable too, invincible, even.
If I could only divide myself in three. Right now my daughter is longing for me to be with her in her dorm. And I just know I need to see if Marco is all right because he’s been complaining of breathing difficulty lately. But then, Aypee doesn’t want to let go of me, especially on his hospital duty days. Ditto with hubby who can’t start a day without his usual breakfast.
But alas, moms are humans too. Sometimes, they feel sick and weak … like I do, right now…

I’d be with you…
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way…”

uy…una ako
just like the song “If”
life’s like that
Your kids are lucky to have you as their mom. You are a loving mom. No wonder they long to be with you always. Don’t worry. Your kids will just be fine. Your caring thoughts about them are enough to send positive vibrations to where they are now.
This is the first time your daughter is staying away from her comfort zone, so it’s but natural to feel homesick. She will outgrow it in due time I’m sure.
As for your sons, well, lalaki sila, and they will have to learn that they cannot depend on their mom forever.
Don’t worry, Rhoda. If you had taught them well, which I’m sure you did, they’ll be just fine.
Oh what the heck am I saying? I don’t even have kids for God’s sake!
get well soon po..
rhodes, they will learn how to survive on their own. hehehe, i think you be better off vacationing somewhere for a month or so as you deserve time for yourself. trust me, they will get by just fine.
Get well soon! Hindi ka magiging omnipresent mom kung may sakit ka! Just rest for a while and take lots of fluids.
Sometimes, that’s what I also find telling myself and my kids, if I could only be at two places at one time, when their activities are happening at the same time and they all want me to be there. Sabi ko nga kay Toe, if I have a superhero power, that’s what I would choose. To be at two places at the same time.
Hope you feel better soon.
VERNS SAID:
LOL @ Sngl….pa advise2x ka pa jan hehehehe
Anyway when I went to college and stayed in a dormitory, I also felt a
bit homesick but like Sngl said, I’ve outgrown it. Uhhmmmm for some
reason, I have a feeling that you don’t want your daughter to stop
feeling homesickness-sy hehe
Don’t worry Tita..everything will be okay. You’re kids also need to
learn how to be independent. I hope you are feeling better now =)
Yes, if only all of us could be for the ones that we love at the same time; but it does not happen that way. Well, try to take some rest … Free your mind from all these and hopefully they will understand that you cannot be there simultaneously for them.
*BIG HUGS*
When I was younger, I always thought that my parents can pore in to my mind. And it always freaked me out whenever it occurs in my mind.
Ayun nga sa karamihan,ang mga nanay tulad natin ay walang karapatang magkasakit o mapagod.Anong akala nila sa atin mga tuod?haay susme
Get well rhods!hugses
If only… but there comes a time in our life when we have to let go, but then again, I’m sure I’ll feel the same way as you do when that time comes
Look after yourself and the rest will follow
Like sngl said, a little separation is sometimes necessary in the growth of the person, and soon they would overcome it and be mature enough to be on their own is some way.
They say distance makes the heart grow ponder. I am sure with each meeting you will have—adoration and sentiments would be deeper and stronger.
At least, you can still sing your predicament away. Atta girl, Rhoda.
Someday, when your nest is empty, and there is plenty of ‘me time,’ you might look back to this season when you wanted to split yourself into three. And then you’ll smile.
you must have selflessly taken care of them, pampered them, made them feel loved. they are very lucky. on the other hand, they are all grown ups now, they’re only making lambing don’t worry, they will be able to manage–as Belle said, what you need is time for yourself.
get well soon, be rejuvenated, so that you will, in time, be able to be with them.
mama, you’re making me cry. nahohomesick na ako..
Naku, huwag kang ma-homesick, anak! Isipin mo na lang ang mga gastos mo – ang dorm, ang tuition fee, ang allowance, etc.! hehehe..
Anyway, you’ll be coming home naman this weekend, di ba? Luv you baby girl!
