Happy Mothers day Mamang Inspired by Mona..

Happy Mothers Day Mamang .. Inspired by Mona.. 

         Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there, like my wife once said to me the greatest thing that ever happened to me , was not graudating high school or Nursing school or getting married, it was becoming a mother.. I cant argue with that ? 

         Now to my blog about the beloved Mamang.. The Austria family is a wonderful family and they have made me feel welcomed from day one.. But Mamang is some thing else? I mean.. If you meet the Austria family , there are the sweetest , calmest and kindest people .. Unless you piss them off.. yikes

        But mamang was like my real mother.. why? Well she cursed like a sailor, and emotional like gang banger and as loud as a rapper.. He could out yell anyone.. inlcuding myself, and I was trained by Marines.. haha.. Well anyways.. she like to drink.. and she like to sing and dance, sounds like me? Like I said.. She was the life of the party and add my craziness ,, we were unstopable.. haha.

        Now lets go back to the beginning .. I first met Mamang when I went to Mona;s house to ask her out.. Mona is the youngest of the girls and proibably the toughest , like mamang.. Mona might be short in stature.. She is afraid of no one , including myself!!  Well when I got to the house, instead of Mona.. It was one her pretty sisters. in fact closer to my age.. Then Mona.. there's a big age difference.. I wont  say because women dont like that? right ? Well I met Monas sister , and well being who I am. I starting talking , laughing , flirting. etc.. It was cool , but when Mamang says its nice your getting along with my daughter.. But.. the look on her face , when I said oh it not that daughter... its the youngest daughter.. She looked at me like you dirty old man.. ,, I mean she gave me that look I will never forget..It was like ok.. your interested in my youngest.. then what the hell are you flirting with my other daughter.. Opps.. sorry . But anyone that know me from High school , Navy Days and now..I'm that person that acts like Im your best friend from the first time I meet you.. I have the gift of gab and I know how to make you feel good.. Its no wonder I get into messes with girls.. haha . Well anyways.. It was a awkward moment. So I decided to say good bye to her pretty sister and try again another day.. But not the best first impression huh ? 

        But when I finally hooked up with Mona and I went to family parties.. These parties were classics , not because of the food. But we have entertainers , Like Fabbie, the best guitarist ..in my opinon.. Then you have Wilbert , best story teller and philosopher.. He really funny..Then you got Oliver.. He loves to sing and dance..whether it was good or not he doesnt care.. Then the girls.. Lilia , the quiet one.. Then Gladys.. sweet and caring and yes quiet.. Then you have vhel.. Likes to over think things.. But quiet .. All these girls are pretty .. But Mona.. captured my heart and won me over..Yes she is quiet.. But I saw a toughness in her like her mother..

       Mamang was like a my true mother , both of us are loud and proud, like to sing and dance and tell stories.. and we talked , it was surround sound shit.. We could talk loud.. Especially if were drunk. which was at every party.. haha.. She loved me and I loved her.. And She said you promise to take care of Mona.. Yes of course,, and after visiting her graveyard site in San Diego, I  sat there and as I was cleaning up her space and getting fresh water for her flowers.. I began to cry , it was like a spirit went into me. I tried to step away .. to compose myself.  But the tears kept rolling down my face.. I said Mamang, I love you and I miss you ,and I'm still in love with your daughter Mona.. I said shes the best thing that has happened in my life.. I said , I got side tracked and lost for awhile..Mid life crisis, after Navy blues.. whatever.. I said. "Im going to be the best father to my kids and the best husband to my mona.. It was like a revelation . Of my true feelings.. Like I said I cried the whole time there.. It was nothing I never felt.. Except when I visited my Mama;s gravesite earlier in the day. They both touched me with their spirits.. Its like I found peace in my life , finally, I love my family and I love my life. no matter how hard I might have tried to think otherwise? 

      Mamang , the times we had those parties were wonderful. I look at the old pictures of you and remenbering one time when you were cooking , I joked that I was going to have 12 kids.. She cried and said. Thats wonderful, but thats too much.. I made her cry.. Its moments like that I will never forget.. !! 

      Happy Mothers day Mamang and dont worry , Mona is my lady..and I will treat her like a queen she deserves to be treated.. I know I wasnt the easiest person to understand.. ? But I'm a very caring person that loves the family that acccepts me and to my friends that really know me.. I'm a good guy just misunderstood.. ?? Take Care Mamang, your family misses you and soneday we all be together having the loudest parties in Heaven... !!
