It's my 3rd year of not celebrating Mother's Day with my mum back in home town. I wish I could but I couldn't. The feeling was uneasy when you are stuck in other place and see other people posting pictures of them celebrating Mother's Day with their beloved mum. I'm not being envious but looking at those photos make me miss my family even more.
Saw a quote posted by my cousin just now which I find it very meaningful.
" Mother holds their children's hands for awhile, but their hearts forever."
This is so true. I still remember how I was raised up from a small naive kid to a soon-to-be 20-year-old teenager which is said to have grown up to face the world. I remembered her holding my hands,putting me in her warmest embrace. Even now,when I've learned to cross the road( even drive) by myself , sometimes when I am back in Taiping and happened to cross the road together with her. She will still hold my hand unknowingly,and leads me to cross the road.
I left for study 2 years+ ago and I'm confident enough to say that my mum is the best mum in the world!
She never fail to call me at night every day, since the very 1st day I left my home. As a son, I should be the 1 making the call but she does that. Every time she calls,she will ask if I've eaten, do I take fruits, supplement etc, and what happens around me. She cares about my everything. Just like what's quoted, mother holds her children's hearts forever!
Some times when she called at the wrong time, when I was busy with my assignments,or not in a good mood, and I acted indifferently, didn't listen attentively to what she said, or talked a-bit-rudely,I'm really sorry for that.
I'm sure there's no mum out there who never fail to call their children everyday. And I'm so lucky I'm the lucky one!
I grow up in a typical Eastern family,where actions are more apparent than words.
If I'm asked to say 'I love you' to my mum,I will definitely hesitate for a long time.
Hereby,I would like to convey my love to my mum. I know she's not going to see this.
A call to her is the only thing I can do to wish her Happy Mother's Day.
Happy Mother's Day,Mum!
