Mother

MOTHER I LOVE YOU

Having a mother like you while growing up was the greatest gift and biggest advantage anyone could ever have given me. It is because of the confidence and values that you instilled in me that made me who I am today. Thank you for shaping me into a person who I like and am proud to be. Thank you letting us believe that we could be whoever we wanted to be, do whatever we wanted to do, there were no limitations except our drive, ambition and creativity.
Having you in my life through thick and thin is already enough to suffice my emotional needs, that whenever I cry or laugh, you are there to comfort without inhibition and pretense.
Thank you for your unwavering support through out my journey.
Thank you for reading all the books that I read, thank you for learning about a world that must be so foreign to you.
Thank you for taking me to hospital and sitting with me through all those retrievals and transfers, remember how excited we were for our first one? You were so nervous for me to be brought in the operating room to conduct appendectomy operation.
Thank you for always being ready to go to school to fix all my requirements that I needed.
Thank you for holding my hand when I had my circumcision,and every time the nurse put a catheter in some parts of my body, and every time the RMT injects to extract blood from my veins.
Thank you for always having hope for me when I didn’t have for myself.
Thank you for telling me not to give up when I said I couldn’t do it any more.
Thank you for never giving up on me when I went through that dark period, when I shut every one out of my life. When loving me must have been like trying to hold a cactus. Thank you for loving me through all of my rejections of help and love.
Thank you for always thinking what meal I am going to eat, although sometimes I hate those foods you served because most of the time it is green leafy veges.
Thank you for sending me that text message as you go to other place saying “I know this day must be very hard for you, thinking of you, I love you”. Thank you Mother, that message helped me so much. And sometimes, your text message is very hard for me to understand that it seems you are not really that fond of texting or you are not really used into it.
Thank you for mediating in the relationship with my father, I know it must be very hard for you to be stuck in the middle of the tension that was between us. Thank you for never taking sides, for being there for both of us equally, , and being the perfect mother and pillar of strength.
Thank you for saying to me, with your whole heart, that you love me 100%, even more.
Thank you for coming to visit me when I was in hospital, thank you for sitting there in the chair all through night, either entertaining me with stories from home or just sitting quietly. Thank you for washing my underwear, for bringing me books, special treats. You gave me some dignity. Thank you, I was their favorite patient.
Thank you for sending me load every time I need it.
Thank you for believing in me, in my talents and skills, thank you for being a stage mother
Thank you for understanding me every time I make rude things , where we both sat and cried while I told my story about what happened.
Thank you for fixing my things inside my room, the scattered clothes, books and the like.
Thank you for being there every time I get my medals on stage.
Thank you for being there for me, when other people didn’t know what to do with me or for me when I was so raw with grief. You just sat and held me and let me cry and wail. You let me be raw.
Thank you for the text message you sent me that said “walking in the garden, looking at the beautiful flowers and thinking of our boy Ben” a few weeks later.
Thank you for doing this when other people couldn’t look me in the eye. When people told you not to because I wasn’t a mother. Thank you for standing up for me, for telling them that I was. For thinking of me on a day where I should have been celebrating you.
Thank you, for every thing you have done for me, thank you for every thing you have said, and for all the times when you said nothing and just listened.
Thank you for being my good luck charm, my muse, my hero, my savior, my therapist, my chauffeur, my cook, and now my bedrest nurse.
Thank you for being such a wonderful mother as my grandma does.
Thank you thank you thank you. For a million things, for everything. I don’t know what I would do without you. There are so many many more things, small things, big things.
I love you very very much, , you are an exceptional mother!
Thank you mother, I love you, more than words can ever express.
