A reminder of how much your Mother loves you.
A son wants to bring his Mother into the forest and leave her there to fend for herself because her Mother is terminally ill and he is too tired to take care of her.
Leading her through the thick of the forest, he noticed that his Mother breaks every branch that they passed by.
Curious, he ask his Mother why is she breaking the branches?
The Mother answered her son loving: “Son, I break the branches as a guide for you to follow so that you won’t get lost on the way out.”
Translated from Filipino story: Isang paalala kung gaano kayo kamahal ng inyong ina.. May isang anak na gustong iligaw ang kanyang INA sa gubat dahil sa sakit nitong wala nang lunas at pagod na rin siyang mag-alaga dito, Ipinasan niya ang kanyang INA hanggang makarating sa kasuluksulukan ng Gubat, ngunit napansin niya na pinuputol ng kanyang INA ang bawat sanga ng Punong madaanan nila, tinanong nang Anak kung bakit niya ginagawa ito, sagot ng INA – ”Pinuputol ko ang sanga dahil ayaw kong maligaw ka sa pag uwi mo.
wow! powerful emotions surge from this
Daddy-o, tell this story to your daughter and see what she thinks.
Will do! 🙂
Seeker, this touched my heart in more ways than one. This is so true, it’s actually kind of haunting. A mother’s love for her children breaks all human barriers. I Thank you wholeheartedly for this beautiful post today. Take care and have a wonderful day…Happy blogging to ya…
Thank you sweets. It’s a bond that is very difficult to break by Mothers and only children can break it, unfortunately.
Oh my God this is so powerful and deep a message! I can only fold my hands to all the mothers in the world ~ Namaste _/\_

Thank you, Brett.
I have not heard that story before. Salamat sa pag-share.
I saw it in one of those Filipino FB. I thought it’s very touching since we really don’t do this with our elders. I hope it’s not happening in the Philippines. Walang anuman.
Very touching! ❤
