I was the first born child, first grandson, and first nephew in the family so what do you expect? I grew up pampered and given with lavish attention especially by my aunties and uncles  (mom’s siblings).  However,  mom see to it that I was not spoiled.  Although there were times that I could get away with my whims but mom was quick to correct or disciplined me.  We had a great bonding time together and I grew up being referred to as Mama’s boy.  In fact, that word was embroidered in the first basketball jersey I had when I was only 2 1/2 years old.

Through the years,  it is Mom who best understands me, loves me unconditionally and who gives a lot of scolding whenever she feels that I am getting out of focus in my studies.  She would never tolerate any of my wrongdoings (but that’s only a few, if I may say so).

The hand that nurtured and cared for me

A mothers day ring is the best ever birthday gift that I can afford to give her out of my savings.   She was ecstatic and I really felt how she loved that simple token of appreciation!  I know that even my life would not suffice to honor my mom (sigh… drama effect).   I believe that you too feel the same way for your mom..

I am super proud to be a mama’s boy!
