I love my mom.
She may complain about taking care of us all the time, but she never once stopped worrying about us.
She may not be highly educated, but she's the most knowledgeable person in handling disputes.
She may be unreasonable at times, but she is a simple person.
She may appear to be sarcastic at times, but she is the kindest person I have met.
She may gossip at times, but this is her way of knowing how her friends are faring.
She isn't demanding but she knows what is good for us.
She is the centre of communication among her other 9 siblings, the treasurer for the whole family and main-organizer for initiating events.
At a very young age of 8, I had this high fever of 40 plus degrees. My mom have to stay by me through the whole night just to ensure that I don't sleep walk. This resulted her to become a light-sleeper and over-sensitive to any noise caused in the surroundings at night.
At age 10, during the primary school overnight camp, I was having difficulty breathing in the night at the camp. Thus, my prinicpal sent me home at 3am. My mom have to wake up to look after me.
At age 17, my grandma was on her deathbed and was immobile at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. My mom had to stayed up for 42 hours or more to look after her and at the same time taking care of my sisters and me.
At age 18, I experience acute pain in my chest area and was sent for A&E at Tan Tock Seng at 11pm. My mom and dad freak out when they receieved this news. I think my mom was quite tired when I told her I needed to go to the hospital, but she insists on coming along. Thank god it was a flase alarm.
Never did she complain once about these events.
*Salute*
