It takes pondering moment, for me to realize how awesome my mother is. It takes time for me to comprehend how tough for my mother to work and bring up the 3 of us at the same time. She didn’t have an easy pregnancies and she suffered the most when carrying me.I really admire her ability and deeply appreciate all the sacrifices and support rendered. I value her words of wisdom and her never ending care and concern up today. Even though I get reprimanded from her, I’m still grateful of what she has done for me.
I must say she juggle her responsibilities very well. Frankly, I wasn’t that close to my mother during the younger days. Probably because she was too occupied with work and house chores that we didn’t really sit down and communicate. I was more attached to my dad and we have a great father and daughter rapport till today. I reckon because dad was on office hours and he made the effort to cover up my mother’s role. I remembered my mother would cook first and did the laundry before leaving for her morning or afternoon shift. She makes sure there is food for us on the table and the house is tidy before leaving for work. At first I was kind of disappointed that she wasn’t around when I need her. We did have a close bond during my toddler hood and I tagged along wherever she went. Probably the ties were loosening when I reached primary school level however we did have occasion shopping dates and arguments for different point of views. But come to think of it, I wasn’t lack of anything. She gave me what I wanted and fulfills my needs. The only that I’m lack of was her time and attention. Now that I am a mother, I truly understand the whole situation. She did a tremendous job and far better than me in handling the duty of full time working mother.I feel guilty of having that feeling and currently I’m having a wonderful relationship with her and in fact we share great understanding. I admire her strength and seriously have lots to learn from her. A mother who knows what’s going on her daughter’s mind and knows what’s happening to her daughter’s life even thought without her saying or hinting it out. I am thankful that my mother is still strong and healthy at the age of 62. I always pray for her good health and long life. Even since staying on my own, I miss her presence and cooking. I wouldn’t be this happy-go-lucky and fortunate if not for her.
This is the second time to celebrate Mother’s Day with the 4 kids. This year is a little special because the man had something up his sleeves. The girl and boy went out with the father and came home a cake and flower. The daughter was shy to give me a card she made in school and sang a song that learned in school, specially dedicated to mothers. The boy cheekily gave me a pink flower and I was like where on earth did the father brought him to get that. The twins were clueless but they were about to pounce on the heart shape cake when it’s in front of them! To my kids, thank you for completing my life and thank you for making me one proud mother!
I honestly would like to share this day with my partner. He deserves because he had performed and assisted my duties. In fact I have learned the techniques from him and did far better than me. My husband has done well with the kids and the chores and its will complete and perfect if he breastfeed!
