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
