“Come unto me all you, who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am humble and gentle in heart, and you will find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus said,

” I am the Resurrection,

I am the Life:

to believe in me means

life, in spite of death,

and all who believe in me shall never die.”

You may Rest In Peace Nana Ruth..

I miss you so much my most beloved Nanay! Mahal na mahal kita! It’s been almost a year without you here. I just got back from the Philippines and I’m having a sorrowful time here in the US adjusting to living my life without you. I thank God for you my loving mother. I thank God I’m back with my dear husband Tom. By God’s grace I know I will be able to start a new life without you. I know you’d want us to be happy. The joy of the Lord shall be my strength. In everything, there is a season. I will always love you Nanay! I’m so grateful to God that He gave me a vision of you right before you died while I was in the Philippines. We were able to talk, hug and say goodbye in that vision. God is so amazing! Love always from your youngest daughter, Mary Jane.

Happy 82nd Birthday Nanay! I miss you so much! Wish you were alive to celebrate your birthday. Thank God you are with our Lord Jesus now but I surely miss you. I miss your loving hugs, bright smile and sweet voice. I miss my Nanay! God is helping me to be strong but I’m still grieving for this is your first birthday where I’m back in Seattle and you are not here. Thank you for your love and working multiple jobs to make sure we didn’t go hungry when we just came to America in 1981. Mahal na mahal kita!

Happy, happy Birthday my beloved mother! 86 years ago, Lola Turing, your mother gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, her 2nd daughter & 3rd child and she named her Pastora Ruth Santos.

And the world was a better place because of you! Thank you for always making sure your 8 kids never went hungry. You even worked 3 jobs to make sure we were all ok. You are an inspiration to me. The world is a sadder place without you.

But by the Grace of God, I’m able to enjoy each day (I try) in spite of you not being with me. How I miss your love & affection! Your beautiful bright smile & loving hugs! Your infectious laughs. Nanay, mahal na mahal kita! There’s nothing like a MOTHER’S LOVE LIKE YOURS.

Nagmamahal mong anak,

Mary Jane

Dear Nanay, Can’t believe it has been 9 years since you left us. Missing your smile, sweet voice and hugs esp. during this covid lockdown. There’s nothing like a mother’s love in spite of their imperfections and weaknesses. I just want to let you know how much I love you and miss you. I’m comforted that you are with Jesus now being comforted, away from your abusive husband. I pray that he will sincerely repent of his sins before it’s too late. We’re on a lockdown right now ordered by the governor. Please pray that God will deliver us from this tyranny. I live my life to honor God and to honor you also Nanay. In God’s time, we’ll be together again and I get to finally see my 2nd baby, Enoch. Please hug her/him for me. Mahal na mahal kita!!!!!!
