A Love Note to Mum
Photo taken in Singapore, 2006.
I just finished reading an article about attachment parenting, when I thought of you, Nanay. Just like the mum in the article, you are unselfish and dedicated, too. You have always put your children’s needs ahead of your own.
I will never forget the time when I was still young and you always fixed my hair (you made sure I always go to school neat and tidy), prepared my lunch and snacks, mend my school uniform when needed and made costumes for my school presentations. You took care of me when I was sick. You would cook noodles soup for me and give me gentle back rubs just so I could fall asleep. When I experienced my first heartbreak, your presence comforted me. You even let me sleep in your room until I was okay.
You were there when I gave birth to our two precious children and you guided R and I all the way. You are my nurse, doctor and go-to-person each time I needed to ask something about the kids.
You have always done things for me and my siblings with love, never demanding a payback. You never showed your frustration on us by screaming or name-calling but instead you have remained that quiet force that made us think for ourselves what we have done wrong.
You are our prayer warrior. You never directed us on what to do with our lives but always trusted God’s guidance for us. And judging by the way my siblings and I are living our lives now, I’d say, we are very much under His guidance and grace.
Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for loving us with all your heart. Thank you for raising us to be the best that we can be. Thank you for being the wind beneath our wings. You are God’s gift to me and my siblings.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Love,
C
Solid! Hee.
and 2) We celebrated a big milestone in our little family’s life (blog entry to follow 
). So we thought that it’s fitting to make it our V-Day dinner, too. Hee.
