Most Filipinos wherever they are in the world are saddened by the passing away of former president Corazon Aquino yesterday. But somehow despite the grief we feel, most of us are also glad that her suffering has ended and she is finally reunited with her husband Ninoy Aquino. It's one of her wishes during her last days as shared by her spokesperson Deedee Siytangco.
Tita Cory, as she is known to us Filipinos, was a role model and inspiration not only as a president but also as a mother. She was the first woman to become president of a country and one who always wanted to unite the Filipino people. She was not only a mother to her children but to all Filipinos who believed in her. As a mother, she was strong in her faith to God and was very loving to her family. She raised her children well with the right values since the time Ninoy was in jail until he was killed. Also, we have been witness to how she was a doting grandma to her grandchildren.
I know how it feels to lose an important figure in life having lost a dear father myself almost four years ago. But I'm sure Tita Cory prepared her children and other family members by stressing the importance of praying together and I know they will be able to move on with their lives with the memory of their beloved mother always alive in their hearts.
Thank you, Tita Cory for sharing your life to the Filipinos. We will miss you.
