Every year, I often struggle to find a perfect gift for her. Besides, to find an appropriate way to present it to her is literally hard and awkward for me. Usually my efforts were just to little avail. I do get discouraged because sometimes she simply showed no reaction. It’s not her to be blamed and I understand that this is what make her special.
Unlike others, she is not the kind of person who will hug you and say ‘I Love You’. She will never say sorry or thank you in any circumstance. She will never pat your arm, comforting you when you’re crying like a baby upon knowing that you failed your Physic for the very first time. She talks, but will almost never chat with you. She will never teach you writing in English or calculating in Mathematics and when you get stuck, it’s you to find out the solutions yourself.
But when you fall ill, she will help you to get into the car and drive you 110 km/h straightaway to the hospital at 2 AM. She will stay up at night just to look after you, putting blanket over you. She will get your meal ready and remind you to consume the medicine prescribed by the doctor. She will never stop from worrying about you. She will not forcing you to study hard. She will keep asking you to sleep when you are burning midnight oil preparing for group presentation. She will look for a good tuition teacher for you even she has to pay more. She will buy anything that you need for you. Seriously, she never fail in placing great emphasis on our education. When it comes to letting you go, she can’t let go easily.
Her expressivity of the motherly love come in actions, not words. She is
my mother---One-of-a-kind;
honored.
There is nothing I could do to repay all the energy and time she spent on me. She has definitely done a lot for us. Someday, I know that I am going to be a mother of my children too. I will certainly taste every single bitter and sweet moments with my own family. Blood, sweat and tears, you know. I pray that she will always being blessed with good health and happiness.I can’t afford to lose the best mom I’ve ever had, my ummi. I love you.
To Ummi, Happy birthday. I love you :)
