Years ago, Ma'am Carmen C. Unabia came to my life. She was one of my professors and she solidified my desire to pursue teaching as my career. Many years later, she visited my life once again when she prodded me to go on with teaching and make sure to do well in the field.

When I got married she came again to my life when she inspired me to hold on to the relationship no matter what. I did, until my husband of twenty years passed away after more than a year of sickness. As a widow, Mom Carmen's words would pop in and tell me I was up to any challenge whatever it takes.

When I revived my membership with the Girl Scout Movement, she was there again as a member and an officer. Both of us received awards for serving the Bukidnon Council for the past nine years and going. Very recently, the family of Mom Carmen received an award, as a Ching  clan, to acknowledge the service of the Ching family for so many years.

Now, Dr. Carmen Ching Unabia, has passed away. This afternoon, April 9, 2013, we will hold a scout's own as Girl Scout volunteers. I am requested to give some words of testimonial because everybody knows how she has become part of my maturation and  development as a person. While I am not yet sure what I will say, this blog will already tell you, fellow teachers, the great respect I have for Mommy. 

To you Mommy, I think you can read this now wherever you are, like my husband Boni whom you have met, you embodied the Girl Scout Promise and Law:

 On my honor, I will do my duty, to God and my country
to help other people at all times and 
to live by the Girl Scout Law. 

Mommy, God speed. Your Life is what we want to achieve when our time comes. God be with you. Rest in the Peace that God is giving you now. We miss so but we know you can be with us anytime anywhere now that God has given you the reward of eternal life.
