A mother’s legacy of love

My mother, Carmelita Vargas Salcedo, was called home by the Lord and gracefully departed in her sleep on the first of February. But her legacy of love will last forever.

Our countless food adventures included creating Nana Meng’s Kitchen, the tsokolate shop that preserved the hot chocolate recipe passed on from my grand aunt, Carmen Reyes Perez a.k.a Nana Meng. We developed the brand and made all our tsokolate from scratch. One of my fondest memories of her is how she fell asleep while standing as she was deshelling the cacao in the bilao to meet one of our first bulk orders. We had a good laugh over that.

I have been incredibly blessed with a mother who was wonderfully beautiful. If you knew her, you would also know that her beauty was incomparable both on the surface and from within.“Fill up on God’s love everyday.” She had that written on her bedroom wall.I thank the Lord everyday for a mother who taught me not only how to make the best hot chocolate but also how to love.
