On Being Grateful to Mom


It has been a more than a year since my Dad passed away and things have never been easier since. The usual family gatherings are never the same, celebrations are bittersweet because you can feel the void sometimes. Yes, the year was difficult, but I'm grateful that God blessed us a Mom who is not just strong, but compassionate and loving.

Being the eldest in her family, Mama Paulette had another swing of difficulty this year - losing her sister to cancer. Just few months shy of losing my Dad, I was able to witness her strength of keeping everyone intact. I was so amazed on how she gives her love to her children and the whole family, and this Grandparents Day, I wanted to give back by making this tribute to her.


When I was younger, she would always bring me to the school she was working in. As a school nurse, I can see how she took care of sick kids, doing her rounds, checking up not just on students, but the teachers as well. When she retired, I still come across the children and the teachers that she worked with, and they all speak good words about her.


And now that she added up another category in her resume - as a Senior Citizen,  I wanted to give her more strength with the new Ensure Gold®. This adult nutrition supplement is scientifically formulated with high quality protein, calcium, vitamin D and 28 vitamins and minerals to help build muscle mass2 and help adults Stay Strong.


And recently, a unique nutritional ingredient in Ensure Gold® is enriched with HMB, a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine3. You can find this in small amounts in some foods and in your body,  but Ensure Gold makes sure to incorporate this to support muscle health.


With this product, I wanted to make sure to “Ibalik ang Lakas. Ibalik ang Alaga” to my Mama, even if she is getting older everyday. She may be feeling weaker in some days, but Ensure Gold will definitely help her gain  strength and vigor. By being stronger, I want her to enjoy more out of town trips with her amigas and do the things that she was not able to do because she was busy working to sustain for us. 

Ensure Gold with HMB is now available in leading supermarkets, drugstores and Abbott’s Official Store in Lazada and Shopee.”
