SUPER 92

My doctor is out for more than a week and that means no patients and  STRESS FREE weekdays plus sneak lunch break at the some friend's house :)

Yesterday was a blast since we were able to attend the birthday of  Ate Lizette. We were welcomed warmly in their beautiful home. Aside from their amiable family, smiling children and yummy foods we were also able to hear beautiful stories from the mother of the birthday girl, Ate Lolita. Ate Lolita was a retired teacher and a mother of three. While eating our lunch she shared to us how they were raised by her loving parents and that's when I started to admire her mother Lola Maria even more who is still amazingly beautiful and healthy at the age of 92.




The very beautiful Lola Maria

Lola Maria together with her husband was able to raise her seven children very well and was even able to send them all  to college. Some of them were engineers and teachers. Even with lots of children she was able to do all the household chores like washing and ironing clothes without a housemaid. Amazingly until now she still manage to take care of herself in her humble home separate from her children. Even she can do things on her won her family doesn't leave her alone they always make sure a grandchild or someone matured enough is with her and that is so heartwarming because nowadays children no longer want to take care of their elders. They just leave them to the home for the aged which is for me not good I think taking care of them is the greatest way of loving them back.

Lola Maria is such a happy and great woman. She was such an inspiration. When I grow old I wish to be like her. Growing gracefully. Hope to see her celebrate many more birthdays. 92 is awesome but 93 is more awesome :)
