A Mother's Love...

I was at my cousin's place in Ampang for lunch yesterday, after her pastering me to come over to collect a dress that her husband bought for Syahnaz sometime ago. She was too paranoid if I further delayed the visit, the dress might not fit Syahnaz as she knows that my daughter keeps growing up fast or in other words that Syahnaz loves eating and never stop putting on weight. It was so sweet and thoughtful of both of them to have bought Syahnaz the dress which fits well accept for a bit tied on the chest part. If only I have taken it earlier kan. Hhmmm….

I take the opportunity to make Anisah cook my favourite ''ayam kicap'' which is second best compared to my mum's. There she goes cooking it with additional dishes consist of butter prawn, long beans with fishballs, daging kijang goreng kunyit and ikan parang masak chili padi. It was so yummy that I ate twice which is for lunch and before I leave her house thinking it will be months after I will taste my favorite dish again.

After threating me the fantastic foods, I was made to accompany Anisah to bring lunch at school for her youngest daughter who is now in Primary 1. To my disbelieved, she has been doing this and never failed doing it ever since her daughter starts school last month. Anisah will simply be there just to accompany her child during recess time, to feed her and to attend to the child request of buying things at the canteen. She even go to the extend of walking the child to her class once recess time is over.

I was stunted by her actions and concluded that she loved doing this as a routine and refused to let go of her child for the fact of a pure mother's love... It is truly deep and unconditional love that appears clearly from her eyes when she patiently feed the lunch she cooked meant for her innocent child.

I also in the same time thought that such actions will lead the child of not being independent. But I guess, there's a long way to go for the child to be on her own and Anisah's child is super lucky to have tasted and felt her mother's endless love to the fullest....

I somehow wonder whether all these sacrifice will be paid off without any rebellious actions that normally given by the children at this era. Would they turn up to be up to our expectations??? Would they be going against us when we are no more needed or wanted?? What if they only be seeing our bad points rather than the opposite? Well, should any of these happen, I must say it would be a such a tremendous hurt for all parents I’m sure...

I would stress my thoughts here that as a son or a daughter, one must not forget the hardships and sufferings that their mothers have gone through in bringing up life and taking good care of them. Otherwise, I personally feel he or she is worse off than a beast. Mothers brought up their children whole heartedly with ultimate compassion and sympathy. It may be in various forms or ways but still, it is the same type of unconditional love.

I always believe that I have given my all and the best to my children. I am now hoping that they will in return willingly cherish me with their tender love and care when I’m old and not much needed by them…

My deepest and sincere thanks to all mothers in the world can only be expressed as follows:

British English: Thank you very much, my dearest mums! I love you!
Mandarin: Feichang Xiexienin, Wo Qinai de mama! Wo ai nin!
Malays: Terima kasih buat ibuku tersayang! Saya cinta padamu, ibu!
Japanese: Doomoarigatoo, watashi no okaasan! Aishiteru yo!
Korean: Taedanhi kamsahamnida, ne sarang hanun omma! Sarangheyo!
Spanish: Muchas gracias, mi querida mama! Te quiero!

Mother's love is indeed very great and priceless!
