One love
I was apparently left by my biological mother.
Growing up I didn’t really have a problem about being adopted.
Most of the kids in my neighborhood,
you know, weren’t keen on playing with me back then.
So my mom was my playmate, my best friend.
I have four other siblings.
And my mother was exceptionally hard working.
She raised us on her own.
Our mother became the head of the family and also our father figure.
She’d come to visit me
and she’d always tell me as a kid that
I’d already expect her to visit me because I’d already be watching the window.
She just hugged me one day and told me that
it’s ok that you want to be gay.
She didn’t agree with me at first.
You know how it is in this line of work.
Your life is at stake.
As she carries us in her womb, she is already worrying about us.
And when she gives birth to us, when we’re out in the world,
she has even more reason to worry about you.
When I was in prison,
my mom was the only one who never failed to visit me.
In the end, a mother will always be there for you.
No one else.
Although I did not come from her tummy,
for sure I came from her heart.
There will always be someone who believes in me
And that would be my mom
And I guess she is my biggest fan.
Before I entered the armed forces,
she gave me a small Bible.
To this day, I still carry it with me.
In this kind of service,
I will protect everything that I can, within my power.
But honestly, I know in my heart,
No one else can protect me but my mother.
I am grateful for everything that I learned from my mother,
for the discipline she’s instilled in me.
In everything we do,
it’s what pushes us to try
and make up for our shortcomings.
That is one important thing that she taught us –
never let failure bring you down;
instead focus on getting up again.

You are always in my thoughts.
