In reply to Ronnie Campbell. Thanks for the kind words, Ronnie. This was one of the hardest essays to write. For every sentence, a tear... for every rewrite, emotions just flowed. But what a treat to have you visit the blog ~ thank you for the encouragement :-)

What a beautiful tribute to your mother, and to the Filipina heritage embraced by your wonderful words, Betty Ann. Thank you for sharing! Brilliant teacher is Monica, and brilliant student are you!

In reply to Nami | Just One Cookbook. Thanks, Nami. This was truly an emotional post and yet was the easiest to write because it just came from the heart. Hope your Mother's Day was sweet, as well :-)

In reply to Sandra's Easy Cooking. Thanks, Sandra. I'm touched by your kind words to an essay that started out as literally "nothing" but turned out to be packed with memories. What a treat to have you blog-visit :-)

What a great story of your life, and I love listening people connect with food this way…you did it and you did it beautifully. Your mom would be very proud of you! Mango Jam looks wonderful!

This is such a sweet post and a perfect tribute to your mom for Mother’s Day. With this, your sons also get to know how wonderful their grandmother was and to think of her when they enjoy your mango jam! 😎
