‘Witty’, ‘attractive’ and ‘inspiring’ are just some of the words to describe my mom. Born and raised in a small town in Ipoh, Perak, she came to Kuala Lumpur to work at a brave, young age of 21. She was introduced to my dad by my aunt who happened to work in the same company at that time. After much courting (according to my dad), my parents finally became an item and got married when my mom was 25. It was only 3 years after that did my parents have their first child, me! She gave up her job at Sri Sutra Travel just to take care of me. Talk about sacrifice!My mom has always been awesome in many ways. To me, she has always been a friend, a sister and a mother. 3 in 1! No daughter could ever ask for more and I would like to add that I am very blessed to have her as my mom. Another thing I admire about my mom is her self-control. Many a times I marvel at her ability to handle strain and tension from taking care of her in-laws and my nuclear family at the same time. In fact, she has never yelled or raised her hand on my sister and me even when it came to disciplining us, and we didn’t turn out too bad, if I must say so myself. Ha-ha!
I could write a book and still won’t be able to give my mom the credit she deserves. Likewise, I could go on and on about how much I admire my mom and not am able to finish. However I’d like to dedicate a poem to her.
I may not be the perfect daughter,
That you might have asked God for,
But mom, you’ve been the perfect mother,
And no daughter could ever ask for more.
The examples you set are still with me,
I’d never want any other,
Thank you for all that you have taught me,
I’m ever so blessed to call you ‘Mother’,
You have my love forever,
I adored you from the start,
It’s a privilege to be your daughter,
Dear mother of my heart.
