It really did for two consecutive days and all because it was Mama Mary’s birthday. For the past five years, I blogged about Mama Mary’s birthday – quotes, prayers and my personal feelings on celebrating such an event as a Catholic. And for the past five years, I’ve noticed the crazy dance on my blog views and stats. The last time it did was about two years ago with a total of 2,889 stats in one day and I was happy but what I saw the past two days made me even happier. And it’s not only because of the additional significant stats, it’s because so many people especially from the Philippines really love to celebrate the event.
I took screenshots of my total stats. The bar graph for the past two days looked really weird with my average views of 200 really looking like dots compared to these.
The joys of blogging and reaching out to people from all walks of life.
Thank you for all those who viewed and visited my blog, read my posts on Mama Mary for the past two days. It is simply amazing.
Thank you Mama Mary!

Ah! Mama always understands!
I posted the Ave Maria by Gounod–I was singing it in the middle of the night, because I was too worried to sleep. The song has always given me comfort, because it cries out “Maria, Maria!”–and I always feel that I am heard. My recording is here:

My mother told me that, a long time ago, doctors said that she could have no more children. But she said she prayed every night to Mary, because she knew Mary would understand.She promised that, if she could have another child and it was a girl, she would name the child Mary. And here I am. 🙂

Oh, what a lovely story Mary. I always find comfort in clutching and praying the rosary when I can’t sleep and it always works for me.

Amazing stats, Arlene. I have never had anything even remotely close, so well done indeed. If I get over 100 views in a day, I am very happy.
Best wishes, Pete.
