MOMS ARE THE BEST - inspired from Holly..
It's 4:30 am.. back in the day. That's what time I would get up and do my early morning run in South San Diego's Palm Avenue.. I would put on Nike running shoes and my hoodie and gloves and make my 5 to 10 mile run before school. but before I would go on that run, my beloved mom was already up , doing her daily chores , or work at home catering deal.. Making lumpias, cakes ,, suman. all that great stuff. I miss so much. She would tell me every morning .. " son go back to sleep.. its too early.. " I would kiss her on the cheek.. I love you mama. and off on my run.. I would see illegal aliens. running by me on that 805 freeway.. by the " Pits.." and I would see " La migra,, parked at the end of palm. and they would wave or i would.. as I ran by them.. I would get occasional honks from truckers because the hoodie I wore also had USA on the front , and I would shadow box .. showing of my boxing skills.. remember I weight maybe 120 lbs.. and was in the best shape of my life. I was doing karate At Kwons Karate , boxing at Palm City Boxing Club.. wrestling , football at school.. I was also heavily into Bruce Lee movies and philosophies.. But most of all I was a hyper kid who like to show off and talk alot.. Is funny how I never hooked up with any girls.. I was too adventurous and in mature to have a stable relationship.. But I'm sure all the girls.. wished or wondered about me.. ? But that's ok.. I felt like back then I belonged to everyone . or girl.. I know that was foolish thinking. But I was too into myself. I wanted to do things for me. Whether it was working out or writing.. I needed alot time to myself.. in fact I still do. But fortunately my beloved wife lets me do that. and I'm blessed and thank ful for that . AS for my mama being the greatest , I really do miss the smiles and hugs we shared every morning , before my run , and those occasion's we we sat as a family to eat her great food. I also miss helping her make her bakery goods. She loved me for that and I'm not afraid to say " I was a Mama's boy.. " and I would die for her and fight for,. even though she had the worse accent in the world.. She is the greatest mama ever .. She loved all y friends and she had a kind and giving heart. I know someday we will see each other again and I will be the happiest man in the world when that happens.. But not yet.. I have alot more stories to write and alot more living to do .. Thanks Mama I miss you and I think and thank you daily.... I love you mama Maria.. from your loving and devoted son... Mel... The Mel Paras productions @ 2011..
