Who is your Unsung Hero?

I am Lariza Garcia, a mother of five great kids. I was able to send my kids to reputable school and I own some property and was able to invest a few stocks here and there. I am not saying this to brag about my possession but to look back and appreciate on what I have.

Whenever I perceive what I have; I always thank God for the blessing that I received. They say that God use ways and means for Him to be able to take care and guide us. In my case, He sends my Mom as my guardian angel and not just a parent.  I am saying this because; there are a lot of parents out there that were given a chance to take care of their children but abuse that position.

Being a parent is not easy, there are lot of sacrifices and now that I am a mother as well; I now truly understand what it means.

Beautiful Moments in the Rain with my Mom

While others are sad that Typhoon Falcon is here and it’s raining cats and dog; here I am singing. Yes, I’m singing because rainy season is something that brings back happy thoughts, this happy thought is my beautiful moments with my mom. Rainy season is the time when my bond with my mom is most precious. 

I live in Divisoria, literally and figuratively.  My mom is a street vendor and my father is a construction worker. Tatay lives where his project is located while we lived in the make-up house in the middle of the street.  Since we do trading day in and day out; it is much easier for us to live at our small stall as well.

I am not ashamed to tell everyone that I am a street vendor during my younger years (all the people who know me, know about that part of my life). I am the eldest child and it is just normal that I helped my mother in any way I can. Rain or shine, we sell and we don’t let one another down. Rain comes in different stages. There is time when the rain was not to heavy that we will just cover our stall and sleep inside while it’s raining and I could hear every drop and just sleep through it. There are times when it really rain so hard that we will go to nearby building for shelter.  My mom would always say that everything will be alright and the rain will eventually stop.
