To the one I call MOM

Here's to spending the second Mother's Day away from you

Here's to waking up in the night:

·         to feed me, 

·         to nurse me when i'm sick,

·         wondering if I'm okay so far away

Here's to waking up early:

·         to prepare for the day,

·         to prepare me for school,

·         because you’re used to it already

Here’s to the meals

Here’s to the lessons you’ve taught me

Here’s to the quarrels

Here’s to the nagging

Here’s to the tears and prayers

Here’s to you mum

Once in a while I watch this video and think back to a time when I had you to remind me of all this

Although I’ve been pretty much an independent person, it still is nice to have someone to wake you up in the morning, instead of having to get up to the alarm clock. It’s nice to already have the water boiled when you go for breakfast. It’s nice to have meals ready-to-eat after a long day at school. It’s nice to have someone be proud about. “My mum’s the best cook/baker in the world”. Through trial and error, I still cannot get the same taste as your dishes and baked goods have. (btw you still need to learn char boh chor’s ang mor tau ewe and chio hwa recipes!! and maybe if there is inchkabin??)

 I recently found a song that kinda says what I want to say.

The lyrics are written by a man, but still I can relate to most, if not all, of what he says. I hope josh would one day be able to sing this song to you

They say a man loves his woman the way he loves his momma
It’s true.
So I wrote this song to thank you for teaching me to love
her like I do.
I know you haven’t seen me lately
And this hotel room ain’t quite like bein’ home (No place like home)
I know you pray for me daily
So the Lord has never left me all alone.
Honestly, I don’t know how ya do it.
You are the bomb dot com
When people ask “Is that Superwoman?”
I just reply and say, “No, that’s my Mom.”

chorus:
I just wanna tell you
While we’re here together.
Thank you for raising me
When friendships have faded.
And life gets complicated.
Still got my family.
Oh Momma,thank you for loving me.

See my mom’s a beautiful woman
I swear she only looks like 32
And she says her boys are good-lookin’
And there’s nothin’ like her home cookin’
Mmmmmm..It’s true.
Honestly I don’t know how ya do it.
You are the bomb dot com
And if they ask, “Is that Superwoman?”
I just reply and say, “No, that’s my Mom.”

chorus

Though I might not always see when you pray for me (Each day for me)
I know that God is on our side.
You support me and believe in me, you’re a superhero to our family.
To the rescue put on your cape and fly.

chorus

I don’t know what else to say, but I LOVE YOU.
