Happy Mother's Day

It is Mother's Day today.

Every year, I will send a card to my mum. I only celebrate Mother's Day, as dad passed away 19 years ago, 6 days after my 15th birthday. Hence, my birthday is a natural trigger for me to remember when my dad passed away.

I've not celebrated Father's Day for a long time, understandably. It is a day that does not register in my life, and it does not bother me as I have grown to understand that life is such that it includes death of family members and those close to you. Gone, but not forgotten.

So on Mother's Day, I hold on dearly to the fact that mum's all I have in this world, and always remind my friends to cherish both their parents if they are still around. Some of us are not that lucky to have both in the world. But I am lucky I've still got me mum. Don't know what I'd do without her, honestly.

So Happy Mother's Day mum. Sorry I can't be there to celebrate, but everyday is Mother's Day (as you said).

Hope I don't disappoint you as a daughter :)
