“A mother’s love to her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity.”
-Agatha Christie
Being a woman is an advantage, maybe. But being a mother is the best thing I could ever be.
I am 24 years old and a mother of one pretty three year old girl. Some of you might say that I gave birth in an early age. Some of you might insult me in your own secret way. By any chance, I would like to tell you my own story with me being pregnant with no particular plan. Then with this, it’s all up to you, how you will deliver your own respected opinion. It doesn’t matter.
I finished my studies holding a bachelor’s degree in Nursing. I am a registered nurse, active member of Red Cross Philippines, proud to be one of the PNA’s (Philippines nursing association), got a job a month after the board exam, then resigned, then finally landed on a job from one of the biggest pharmaceutical back home. To summarize it all, I accomplished my entire task as a daughter before becoming a mother.
I have been to a long relationship, where you may all think, that I am crazy on just sticking into one and not to roam the whole country for another. Yes, once, I loved the father of my daughter. He has been what I dreamt of having for my whole lifetime on earth. But then, nothing is permanent. Nothing will ever last

Summer of 2010, when I’ve found out that I am pregnant. I am not really aware of it. We are both not yet ready of having a child. But to remove all of your wrong speculations, a day after we found out that I have a life inside my tummy, we announced it to both parties. My parents wanted me to get married, SOON. His parents, were also into this arrangement. But for me, life is too short to make another mistake. I am not really sure if I want to have the rest of my life with him anymore. So we followed what I want, not to get married and wait for the perfect time.
Then, on December 2010, I gave birth to a beautiful angel sent from above. We named her VERNICE ISABEL LI FERNANDO. Bouncing baby girl. Mind you all, we both had a difficult time when I am delivering her. My life was on 50/50 and so was she. I stayed in the ICU for 2 days. And my precious angel for 7 days. But we made it! Through the Highest name Of God above. WE MADE IT!
Now, she’s already three years old. Like any other child, all she knows now is to play and play and play…
It is the unconditional love that a mother feels for her children that drives these feelings. It is hard to describe the feeling that a mom has towards her children. Most people don’t understand this LOVE unless they are mothers themselves.
