Pinili raw niya ang pamagat na Friday’s Child para sa aklat na kanyang akda dahil ipinanganak siya sa araw ng Biyernes.

Naging inspirasyon din niya ang nursery rhyme na "Monday’s Child":

Monday’s child is fair of face

Tuesday’s child is full of grace

Wednesday’s child is full of woe

Thursday’s child has far to go

Friday’s child is loving and giving

Saturday’s child works hard for a living

And the child that is born on the Sabbath day

Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay.

CATHY KEEPS HER PROMISE TO HER MOTHER

Pahayag ni Cathy sa Cabinet Files ngayong Lunes, Oktubre 13, 2025: “Friday’s Child ang title kasi I was born on a Friday and it takes inspiration from a nursery rhyme.

“Ang motivation ko to write the book is really because I wanted to remember how Mommy was when I was a child, and also to keep a promise to her.

“Noong araw kasi, lagi niyang sinasabi na, ‘Write a book about me someday! So, heto na yon.

“I wrote and completed the book early this year while I was in the U.S.

“We split our time now between two countries, and when I am in the U.S. is when I am able to write a lot more.

“Some of the stories na post ko sa Facebook but there are many new ones in the book.”

Ipinagdiwang ni Caridad ang kanyang ika-92 kaarawan noong Agosto 1, 2025.

Pero ginagawa ng kanyang mga anak ang lahat para maging masaya siya at manatiling komportable.
