Happy Mother's Day!!!

How can I not write about the greatest woman in my life on this special day?

I've heard people complained about how commercialised Mother's Day has become and they just absolutely refuse to do anything about it. I think they're just not appreciative of their mums eh. Yea, so what if society is getting really commercialised abt M's Day? You don't have to buy expensive gifts. You don't have to bring her out for expensive dinners. How about just showing that you care? Showing that you really appreciate your mum for all the things she's done for you? And for that unconditional protective love that has brought you thus far in life...

I guess absence does make the heart fonder. There's less opportunity for friction too. But the beauty of it lies in while missing my mum, I've come to realise how life is so different without her around. I've come to appreciate the effort she makes in cooking our meals as I survive on bread and cereals for dinner. (errr... ya, the truth is out, i'm not cut out to be a nutritionist...). It's when you're away from home for an extended period of time that you notice the little miracles that happens at home. Like how the kitchen is always clean and tidy... and floor's always smooth and nice to walk on... the clothes are always washed and well ironed... It's like an angel has come to set everything right at home and this beautiful angel has the tag "MUM" on her...

My mum's a real beautiful lady eh. ya, i know everyone says that about their mums but really, if only i inherited a quarter of her beauty, I reckon i'm a hot babe now~ ;p

I really admire the way my mum is so strong. Don't be deceived by her slender frame, you'll be amazed at how she stands up against the storm and carries all the heavy loads on her shoulder. She would never let me carry heavy stuff when I was younger. But i've learnt to say "No mum, if you can do it, I can do it too."

I know I've given her heaps of nonsense many times. I used to be difficult with people whom I know loves me. Just because I know I can get away with it. Such a brat eh. I pray that by God's grace I'm not that brat I was anymore and I pray that I'll be the joy in my mum's life.

Really thank God for mum. I can never thank Him enough for her. My heart's deepest desire is that she'll come to the saving knowledge of Him soon, so that she'll never have to take another step forward carrying all the heavy loads by herself, nor face another moment of storm all alone by her own strength. If I were in her position, I would have crumbled long ago without the strength that comes from God. I just wish that she'll experience God for herself, and know that my God that loves me, loves her too, and is her God as well...

I better give mum a ring now. Wish I can give her a big big hug~ May every single day be a Mother's Day for all of us...
