I wish my mother were still alive

I wish my mother, ka Felicing, were still alive today so I could greet her Happy Mother’s Day and maybe give her some flowers and a nice gift.

When she was still living, I wasn’t aware or maybe just oblivious to Mother’s Day celebration.
Oh well, my thoughtfulness came too late. Di bale, maybe the heavens would carry my message:

Ma, Happy Mother’s day. Wish you were still here.
Thank you for your intense love and care for all of us.
