note of gratitude

May 10th 2009 - a very important date to remember for all daughters and sons. Today is the day where each of us can show our appreciation for all the things that our mums have done for us. However, i'd like to remind myself and everyone else that the thankfulness doesn't end as soon as the clock strikes 12 tonight. We should always, at least try to remind ourselves that we won't be where we are now without the support, guidance, and love from our mums. So here's a little wish for you ma...happy mother's day. I know that we can't celebrate it together like we always do but the whole family is thinking of you. Nenek and atuk misses you too. We wish that we could have our usual mother's day dinner at grandparent's place with your siblings, nephews, and nieces and of course those two toddlers...haha...I love you mama with all your quirks and eccentricities. I realize that i can be ungrateful at times and i'm very sorry for that. But you have to know that you're my everything, and i thank you for being my mum. Once again, happy mother's day to you and nenek. You guys rock! :)

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~ Washington Irving
