Mom, my Lola.
She is a woman who chose to see her glass as half empty rather than half full. Who chose sadness as a reality, as the norm.
She wasn't always like this. She used to be a strong and independent woman. Who took care of her husband, seven children, over a dozen grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews, friends. She took everybody under her wing and took care of them, provided for them, nurtured them. She survived her dear husband. She started her business with very little to begin with. She endured the 2nd World War. She brought her faith in God and in the salvation she received through Christ to the hearts of all the people under her wing. She was the woman in the well who met Jesus and claimed the promise that her whole household will be saved.
I thank God for blessing us with her life. I thank God that she is my Lola.
Much of the strength and luminance of her glory days have gone. She turned 80 this year, and is in the eve of a colorful life. I hope this note will surprise her when she receives this. I hope she will smile and remember how much she is loved. I hope she will get her joy back.
I love Mom!
It has been a while since I last painted anything, and I'm happy that my first artwork after a long long time is my thank you note for Mom!
