mama, thank you

it's mother's day this coming saturday - at least that is based on the US calendar.. if i'm not mistaken, the Brits celebrates mother's day in june.. and we M'sian, just follow the media propagandas. hmm..

spoke to a sick mum who just completed her knee op due to the accident she met last two weeks. she sound sooo weak, not the girl i used to know, cheerful strong single mummy of a lovely daughter. tried my best to cheer her up, to ask her to look at the bright side as she'll be getting 6-8 weeks MC..how nice.. despite the pain on the knee la kan.. but, all she can think of and said out loud was "i'm worried of how can i cook food for marsya with this condition"... salute to you dear mummy!!! you were sick, all by yourself, and the only thing you are worried of is how to get your twelve year old daughter well-fed! you impressed me!

i don't compliment my mum often. i don't say out loud i love her .. and vice versa. when i was younger, i always thought she doesn't love me as much as mother should be. my siblings and i were with out gramps most of the time. the only time we spent our time with our parents were during weekends as on weekdays, we would be staying with our gramps. mum said it was convinient for the kids so that we didn't have to wake up early in the morning to go to school and religious classes. adn sometimes, when we were sick, she will just leave us with our gramps, even it was weekends. when i was younger, i always thought my nan did a better mother-job than my own mum. 

that was when i was younger. 

only when i was a mum myself i 'think' i understand my mum's love. this lady, who i have no faith in taking care of small kids, even her own grandkids (no offence, but i still think she is not as good as she should with kiddos).. is special. after sixty-three years, she sacrifices her time, life and everything for her kids' conviniences. with her background, nobody could have imagine she could have gone this far. with three spoilt-to-death brats of her own plus one 'clingy' egoist hubby,she survived this far. she have achived so many things in her life, and all i wanted her to know, never have been more proud than ever to have her as the queen of my heart. 

ma, you've gone through so many hardship that i could never have imagined i could stand it.. as much as i wanted to be the best mother to my kids, i knew you've done your part well to do that to us. happy mum's day, everyday.. and we do love you.
