"Isa sa mga paborito mong tanawin ay ang pagbabago ng kulay ng mga dahon. Tuwang-tuwa kang panoorin ang unti-unting pagbabago ng kanilang kulay hanggang sa tuluyan na silang malaglag," she wrote.
Carol recalled how her mother felt sad whenever the flowers and leaves began to wither and fall, describing it as a cold and gloomy phase. She also remembered how her mom, Celine, looked forward to spring, when flowers bloomed and vibrant colors returned.
"Ngayon, alam kong lagi na kitang maaalala sa tuwing makikita ko ang pagbabago ng kulay ng mga dahon, ang unti-unti nilang pagkalaglag, at ang muling pag-usbong ng mga bulaklak," she continued.
"Nakikita kita sa lahat ng bagay sa paligid ko. Parang sa bawat pagbabago ng mga panahon, naroon ka pa rin, nagpapaalala sa akin ng mga bagay na minahal mo."
The actress-singer also expressed how much she misses her mother.
"Sobrang miss na miss na kita, Mama. Hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita. Hanggang sa huling yakap at halik, Mama. ❤️"
