A Mom Never Asks...

My Tribute To Adelaida Roque (Mama Deng)

To write about her, for the reason I have to and, of all times, now, at this very unusual period of lock-down, social distancing, pandemic ... truly sucks so bad, I do not how to start?

But, in honor, of her GREAT LIFE and LOVE that could conquer era, space and time, I give this ... even if IT HURTS SO BAD.

Mama Deng, thank you.  Please don't worry.  It is your turn now to be truly HAPPY, knowing all of us you've taken good care of have turned out well.  We will not fail you. So go on ... FOLLOW THE LIGHT! As you have passionately dotted over us during our younger years, now, our prayers will see you through!



A MOM NEVER ASKS…

I had so many why’s
I had migraine
Tryin’ to figure it out

But then, I now know why
Coz you’ve never asked…
You never impose on any of us!

Just like when were small
You never asked any at all…
You were happy doing all chores
So your little ones enjoy their toys!

You were Mama Deng
The “Second Mom” to us all
You loved ‘Te Will so much
But your love was shared with us all

And until we have grown
You & Papa Erning filled the void
You were there in all our adult moments
Never asking … but just to be called!

And until your last days
In our lives, you chose we just go on…
You still didn’t impose
Somewhere, probably, you’ll still watch over us ,after all?


Your Cryin' Baby, Tatan
