RIP Cory Aquino

I will admit, I am not a fan of the late Cory Aquino as a public figure. Maybe it's because I was not able to witness what people are saying that she is the symbol and that she brought back democracy to this country. Probably because I did not witness first hand the EDSA revolution. Or maybe I just don't have that impressive impression on her. However, I admire her as a woman. She is the real epitome of a mother. A mother who gives justice to the phrase- unconditional love. I feel for Kris and her other siblings for saying that they actually lied to their mother when they said that they would be fine and that they would let go. Children have this strange connection to their mothers. Perhaps because they were in the womb for 9mos and that technically speaking they are the one who manages the duties in raising kids might have caused this peculiar bond. But it doesn't matter anyway to know the reason why. We love our mothers so much simply because they are a mother- the one who will do anything for the sake of their children no matter how difficult it could be. No doubt, Mrs Aquino did well in raising her children. It might be so hard for her raising them alone and faces lots of headaches but she never gave up believing and guiding them. Secondly, I commend her for having a strong faith and being a good follower of the Catholic church. Personally speaking, I am not sure if I could ever do such thing. She has a strong spiritual life. She always pray and never forget to attend masses. That is something big I must say. At this modern age, where there are many distractions she was able to maintain it. And lastly, the greatest trait that I was able to see in her was her calmness and being at peace all the time. Being a loud person, I am amazed by this. It seems like she doesn't face any problem. How I wish I could train myself to be like her. That whenever I face any difficulty, I would be as calm as her and then pray for a clear and peace of mind.

To Corazon "Cory" Cojuangco Aquino, I would like to say that you did inspire me not because you've once become a president, a public VIP or a mother to Kris and Noynoy but you inspire me because your a true and genuinely good person who lived in this world. Thank you for making me realized all of these. Thank you for reminding the Filipino people again that we have to do something, participate and be a good citizen for our beloved country. Thank you and may you now join our Almighty Father and continue to guide us up above in heaven.
