CEBU, Philippines —A mother is always a mother, her love and support to her child will never end.
This is what Lawyer Jeah Gacang of Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP)- Cebu just witnessed in one of the examination sites in Cebu City.
Lawyer Gacang shared a story of a mother who sent off her daughter in a parking lot outside the examination site.
“Something heart-melting caught my eye during the last day of the first-ever Regionalized Bar Exam aka the Best Bar Ever.
I happened to be one of the Proctors’ Bar Ops of IBP Cebu and witnessing this mother and daughter story near UC Banilad, one of the examination sites in Cebu, managed to evoke some nostalgia,” Lawyer Gacang shared on Facebook.
Lawyer Gacang saw the mother handing the transparent bag to her daughter while sincerely talking to her in the parking lot.
“I thought it would end there but I was wrong.”
She said the mother walked with her daughter from the parking area up to the other end of the skywalk.
“As much as I want to walk past them, I can’t bear to interrupt their moment. So I stayed behind at a distance. I don’t know them but I can vividly see the genuine love and support of a mother to her child who will face a battle in life. Similarly, a confident and fierce child ready to conquer any challenge that lies ahead knowing she has someone who deeply believes and prays for her,” she continued.
Lawyer Gacang was moved by how the mother sent off her daughter with two thumbs up, and then silently watched her enter the building.
“My heart melts as I see them in a long and tight hug, the mother giving thumbs up, then 2 thumbs up, fist up and more so, when she never leaves her eye on her child as she go nearer to the gate. She remained still.
“I guess she was intimately praying for the success of her child.
“Haaaaaay maka greet mn sad ta ug happy mother’s day sa tanang mama/guardian bisan di mother’s day,” Gacang said.
She said that by nature, parents only desire and dream for the best of their children.
She hopes the bar taker daughter “can make it”, and encouraged all bar examinees to “please hug and thank your parents/loved ones after the exam.”
“One way or another, they have been part of this wonderful journey and made you closer to your dream,” she said in her message to all bar takers.
