Back To Germany Again!

Hello there!

I know it has been a while since I have updated my All About Germany site. Many things happened in the last few months especially these past few weeks but I have learned a lot from being away from my 2nd home country Germany. I spent 10 months in my home country Philippines. I thought it was only 9. Lol! 

I have learned how it was to be sick there and how a parent illness and funeral brought a family closer to each other. It was a tough time but here I am, trying to move on with my life without parents to talk  to anymore. I have no regrets spending my time there because I have spent it with my late father and was in his death bed trying to comfort him and myself. 

So here I am again, writing about my expat life here in Germany and about my experiences in my home country.

Yes, Germany! What´s up with the Germans this weekend? Well, this coming Sunday, the 14th of May is Mother's Day. Hooray! Something to be happy about. Do you have Mother's Day celebration in your country this coming Sunday? Have you bought your gift yet for your mother? If you have not decided yet what to buy, please check these gifts in my Hubpages article. You will find a lot of goodies to make your mother happy. You don´t have to spend a lot of money for that. Your time with her is the best gift you can offer. Well, that is for me.

Bye for now. Enjoy your life and appreciate the blessings you got from whoever that is. Smile and the people will smile with you. 

Here is a poem I wrote last year for my late mother. I wish she is with me but she is with my father now in heaven watching over me and my siblings.

Happy Mother´s Day!

These flowers are dedicated to my late mother.

Happy Mother´s day to all my online friends everywhere in this world. I don´t know if all the countries have the same date of Mother´s Day like what we have here in Germany. We have this day on every second Sunday of May every year.

We are very lucky as this day of the year, the sun is so bright and it is 26°C where I am in North Rhine Westphalia. It´s time to have this beautiful weather as winter was so long and too cold for me to enjoy.

Here´s a poem I am dedicating to my beloved late mother. I specially made this today for her. Remembering her when she was still alive.

HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY NAY!

Dear Nanay,
I wish you were here
Celebrating this day
In May.

I wish I could spend this day with you
Laughing with you 
Joking about everything
That come in our way.

I wish I could spend not only this day
But the days and months
When I am in your garden
Which is now my garden.

We could have talk a lot
About what kind of herbs are good
For constipation, diarrhea and stomachache
We could have talk a lot
About how I should do it right.

Nay, I miss you so much
I miss the days when I was with you.
You massaged my head while I laid down on your lap
Even though I was already old enough and a mother myself.

Nay, sorry that I was not in your last day on this earth
That didn´t mean that I did not care for you
But I was glad that I talked to you in the phone before you left us
I know you were there in our bedroom when I was there these last few years.

I am not afraid of your ghost
You can put on the radio when I am sleeping
You can even pinch my thigh as you have always done
I don´t mind as I love to know that you are always with me.
HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY NAY!

*************************************
I know this is an emotional poem but that is what I feel now on Mother´s Day. Please appriciate the time with your mother. You´ll never know when it ends. Happy Mother´s Day to all.

Happy Mother´s Day To All Mothers In This World

I will dedicate this page to my mother who is no longer in this world. I was not able to say goodbye to her and I am missing her. Talking and writing about her is the only way that can help me overcome my sadness. I know that a person said that I did not love my mother as I moved to Ireland with my hubby instead of going home to her funeral. I had no other choice because it was all planned but I know my mother understood that. I have tried my best to keep her memories alive. Happy Mother´s Day Nay wherever you are.

This is the photo of my mothers orchids behind our house. She had plenty of orchids in our garden planted when she was still alive. I take care of them when I am in my home country Philippines and when I am in Germany, my cousin is taking care of them. I´ll show you some of her orchids here. 

This is a 40 years old orchids which my late mother received from her now late brother, who was a forester in the jungle of the Philippines.

In these links you can see a lot of of my mothers orchids.

Mother´s Day in Germany

May 10 this year is Mother´s Day in Germany. Do you ever celebrate Mother´s Day in your country?

Well, it´s time again for us to value and appreciate the duty of our mothers as well as their love to us children. Nothing is as precious as the love of our mothers although some of us only value that when it´s too late. When our mothers are no longer with us to care and advice us whenever we need a shoulder to cry on. So Guys, enjoy the time with your mothers as well as your fathers. 

Have you ever think of what you give your mother for Mother´s Day? Any ideas what your mother would love to have? Best idea for Mother´s Day is not expensive but it can be wonderful and memorable for both of you.

             HAPPY MOTHER´S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS IN THE WORLD!!!
