In her letter, Carol fondly remembered the woman who always carried herself with poise.
"Mama ko, I never thought I would see you in this state. You were always so vibrant, so kikay — always wanting to look your best, always so put together with your clothes, your makeup, and your perfume," she wrote.
The contrast between those memories and the present has been an agonizing experience for the family.
"Ang sakit sakit, Mama. Ang hirap hirap makita ka na ganito," she added, capturing the universal pain of a child caring for a parent in their final stages.
Despite the sorrow, the message carried a theme of unconditional love and spiritual preparation.
Carol acknowledged that as the physical struggle intensifies, so does the hope for a peaceful transition.
"Deep inside, we also know that you are getting close to finally being free from all the pain and suffering. Malapit ka nang magpahinga. Malapit mo nang makasama sina Papa at Kuya. Mahal na mahal ka namin, Mama. Mamimiss kita nang sobra," the singer shared.
As she prepares for a future without her mother's physical presence, Carol promised to maintain the resilience she was taught.
She noted that she and her sister must stay strong for their own families, mirroring the way they were raised.
She concluded the letter with a powerful permit for her mother to let go of the burden of the illness.
"And when you are tired and ready to rest, it’s okay. We will carry your love with us for the rest of our lives," Carol shared.
The post serves as a humanized look at the reality of end-of-life care, focusing on the enduring connection between a mother and her children rather than the clinical aspects of the disease.
