Happy Mother’s day to my dearest mum. I always thought that my mother was very very hard on us when I was growing up. Being a mum myself, I now understand how hard it must have been to bring up 4 girls without help – to cook, clean, teach, discipline, ensure that they get to school, look after them when they are sick, and put them to bed. She had to be hard to get things under control.
Now to think of what a kind, loving and self sacrificing person she is, I think it must have been really difficult being hard and strict with us. She was a true Tiger mum. When I was young, i never saw her virtues until i grew up. In fact, I will even admit that I do not fully understand her . Something that I should really try harder to.
Despite our differences, I know that she will do anything for her husband and family. Even if it means sacrificing her own time and happiness. I used to suffer from insomnia. I still do. I will always remember how she would stay up and lie next to me to comfort me… and she would sing to me a song that I will sing to my own kids when they cannot sleep.
So this Mother’s day, i just want to say I love you mama and I do appreciate you. Very very much!
