Part 1


Question: Are second chances really possible? What if by chance I would have a second chance at love, what should I do? Would I grab it or let it pass by? How would I know if this person is really the one. I guess I will find the answers in the right time.


Predict: I have predicted that the story was about an older mother shares with her grieving daughter a yet untold story to help her daughter move on with her life and to be a good mother to her own children after the loss of her husband and their father.


Reflect: Most parents willingly and without hesitation make tremendous sacrifices for their children. They will put aside their own wants and needs and sometimes personal happiness so that their children s lives go on and uninterrupted and relatively normal. Usually the children are unaware of what they have been given.



Connect: My mother is working overseas. She has been there for almost 9 years already. As a mother I know it was a very hard decision for her to part ways with just so that we would have a good life here in the Philippines with my little sister. It is very hard for a mother to see her kids grow up without her having to take care of them herself. I am so appreciative of my mother because of the sacrifices she had made for me and my sister. She is one true example of how unconditional a love of a mother can be. I love my mother so much.
