Happy Mother?s Day

?To her who loves us before she meets us. ? (Monumento a la Madre, Mexico City).
As infants, we lovingly reciprocated with our first words that sounded like ?Ma?.
I share a heartwarming message apt for our celebration today.
It is from Mr. Eddie Diego, my mother Cristina Pasaoa Rivera?s childhood and best friend.
?This painting reminds me of your mom. She is kind and generous.?
Authors Notes:
The painting (circa 1973) is by Oscar Zalameda of Lucban, Quezon Province. It is untitled, but I prefer to call it ?Motherly?.
