For My Mum...
Today is Mother's Day.
I would like to use this day to thank my mum, who's always been there for me.
Mum, thank you very much for giving birth to me, and for taking such good care of me all this while, without a single complaint. I know it's really tough juggling loads of housework and at the same time, taking care of me, and my sister and brother, but you did a really fantastic job. I won't be here today if not for your unconditional love. No one can take care of me as well as you do.
Thank you also for the clothes you sewed and knitted for me; and the handphone pouches you made for me, even though I don't use them anymore; and also the beautiful beaded figurines that you so carefully threaded for me, just because I like them. They really mean a lot to me.
Thank you for sending me to music lessons. Even though you don't know a thing about music, everytime after each lesson, you would sit patiently with me and go through what the teacher has taught. Without your patience, guidance and support, I would not be where I am today.
Thank you also for the delicious dishes that you whipped up every meal. I know that sometimes I have complained about not liking certain dishes, but I know I shouldn't have done that. I should have understood that it's very difficult and sometimes frustrating to think of what to cook for every meal, every single day.
Thank you for taking care of me when I was sick, for bringing me to the doctor, and for reminding me to take my medication.
Thank you for your tolerance when I raised my voice at you. It was very wrong of me, and I'm truly sorry.
Therefore, I would like to say...
Mum, thank you for being there for me. I'm really proud to have a mum like you, and I love you. Happy Mother's Day!
