She is the greatest...

She stopped working when she gave birth to her first child, the eldest daughter. She devoted I would say her whole life taking care of her family and her children. Life was not easy for the whole family at the beginning when all her kids were very young but she has always been that supportive wife to her husband, working very hard at home, with hardly any complaints even when times were bad then. Till now, she has always saved the best for her children. She will always splurge on her children, buying the best stuff for them, all kinds of tonics, food etc but as for herself, she just cannot bear to splurge or indulge in any kind of luxury. Fame, prestige or wealth has never been any of her aims in life, she has never asked for more than what she needs. Frugality has always been something she wants her children to understand and learn. When her children are sick, even till now when all of them are working adults, she still cares and worries for them as if they were still little children, reminding them to take medication, preparing nutritious homecooked meals for them. The feel of her hands on their foreheads or on their bodies whenever they are sick brings great comfort…Simple ways of caring and showing her love but it has meant so much in the hearts of her children…Indeed, they are very blessed to have her in their lives…the success that she has attained as a mother is greater than any one of those successful career women in this modern society. She doesn’t have any successful projects under her name, she doesn’t earn big bucks, she does not probably know much about stuff in this modern society but you know what, she has raised three wonderful kids, she is the greatest…she is my mummy…

As I am typing this, tears were streaming uncontrollably down my cheeks, gosh, I can such a crybaby :P Well, but all these words really came from the bottom of my heart. No gifts in this world can ever repay the love and care my mummy has given us all her life. She has really shown us what unconditional love really is…Thank you, Mummy. I know these two words “thank you” will never ever be enough to thank you for what you have done…Love you always…
