sad distance

my mom gave me a phone call last night, from which i was expecting that she'd talk merely about sending financial support and checking out how we're doing right here in the Philippines while she's working and living her life there in Holland, Europe. what surprised me is the information she confided that she just went under a bad motorcycle accident the night before, which was then tuesday night! i hated what i heard! i got so worried that i asked her many questions so as to know what had broken in her if any had, if she's feeling okay or not, if she's in a hospital or at home and many other concerned questions like those. and i was stricken, thinking that we're very far away from each other. if only i could easily get to her i would've done it...but then a sad distance separates us right now, something that life requires for her to be able to support her growing son..me...which deserves the degree, "sacrifice."

she told me her left foot and ankle are a little broken, and some other little things happened to her due to the crash. she also called me earlier this afternoon and told me she's having something like fever which makes me think she's not that fine yet. about the financial thing, i have it on hand now. my aunt, which is her sister who's also there right now helped her of sending the money to tide us over, for the meantime.

i love my mom so much. i hope she feels that i really do. i hope and pray she gets better soon.

after dropping by this post, i'd be thankful and so glad if you'd sincerely say a simple prayer for her. thanks...
