dear
mommy,
thank you for the nasi briyani today. thank you for waking me up in case I woke up late for school. thank you for believing in me for my O'levels. thank you for telling me that VJC is not as good as MJC. thank you for being right all the time. thank you for telling me that I am a minah. thank you for advising me that if I have nothing nice to say, don't say it. thank you for buying me that beautiful ring for my prom night. thank you for not scolding me (too hard) for losing my ez-link card repetitively. thank you for getting me hooked on korean dramas. thank you for teaching me the meaning of sarcasm. thank you for those times you've fed me, washed my clothes when I should have done them. thank you for scolding me because if it weren't for that I'd be a spoiled brat. thanks so much for loving and caring for me and hakim and nadia and you don't know how much we appreciate it.mommy, I've known you for seventeen years now. and you have the been the most amazing and incredible mother ever. I'm sure when I was a baby and cried all the time, you got really wound up, but thanks for singing me to sleep anyway.
my mother is my reason and strength. without her, I. AM. NOTHING.
to all mothers out there,
you are loved and honoured. thank you for spreading your breathtaking and enchanting love all over the world.
what would we be without you? awol most probably.
I mean, there wouldn't be any smart people.
Motherhood is a wonderful thing - what a pity to waste it on chldren.
