Tears of joy are the landmarks of achievement in the lives of two single mothers. Marivic Capuz, of Cavite, still remembers that “during the graduation of my eldest daughter, I was crying almost the entire time. It was unexplainable joy!”
After years of working two to three jobs at a time to provide for their children, sometimes missing meals to save for other expenses, Capuz, now 51, said: “I made it! I was all alone but I did make my daughters’ dreams come true, with God' s provision.”
“My daughters' diplomas will forever be a reminder of my victory in life,” she told Manila Bulletin in an online interview. Marivic’s main job was a private school teacher. On the side, she was a private tutor to three, sometimes five students, just to earn more to pay for the necessities of her children. When she lost her job for five months, her elder daughter was in first year college.
Through all that, she said it was her daughters who kept her on. “I never thought of giving up,” she said. Her daughters helped her sell food, and they looked for scholarships to get their education. “They had entrusted their lives to me, I could not fail them,” Marivic said. “I am thankful my daughters showed me so much love, trust and faith that is what I hold on too,” Marivic said.

To our mothersTomorrow is Mother’s Day. A Sunday in May every year where we find an extra excuse to celebrate the most important women in our lives. Although a day will never be enough to give adequate thanks to some of the most influential figures in our lives, it is also that day which reminds us to be grateful to them and all that they are. After all, I would never want to think about a world without mothers – we would never know the feeling of being nurtured, nourished, cared for unbiasedly and loved unconditionally.
