About the Blog
Welcome to Nanay Chronicles.
I'm MomLen—a mother, a widow, a storyteller, and, somewhere along the way, a crochet enthusiast who discovered that every stitch carries a memory.
This little corner of the internet began as a place to write about life after loss. Over the years, it has grown into a collection of stories about family, faith, motherhood, healing, laughter, and the quiet lessons hidden in ordinary days.
Every now and then, you'll also find the stories behind my crochet creations—because they're never just about yarn. They're about the season of life in which they were made.
So whether you're a parent, a fellow solo parent, someone learning to begin again, or simply someone who enjoys heartfelt stories, I hope you'll find something here that reminds you you're not walking alone.
I'm glad you're here.💙
“I have fully recovered…”
If you have recovered, why are you still in pain?
It’s psychological. My mind and body still remembers it…
Sometimes the pain passes so quickly.
That’s why we shouldn’t judge people by their looks. They might be hiding the pain that the mind and body still remembers even if they’ve recovered from it.”
And maybe that’s another reason we should be gentle with one another—and with ourselves. We don't know what someone is carrying inside.
Enjoy natin ang ngayon, kasi pag naging bukas na 'yun, magiging kahapon na at hindi na mababalikan. 🤎
Maybe healing is not only about getting past the pain. Sometimes, it is also about learning to embrace the moments that are here now.
