Yap, my mother can be fierce when she knows she had to move me. She is also the most caring and understanding person I knew when I was down. A lot of times when I cone home from Metro Manila, I would talk about all my complains at work and she would patiently listen even without understanding what the heck I was whining about.

I would say I did not make it through the rain. Instead, my blessings were through the rain. 😊
