Mama's Day away

I missed Mother's Day. That means I wasn't around my mum to wish her in person. As much as I have stopped feeding into the hype of "Days", I guess Mother's Day would be one I would actually get suckered in to doing something extra nice for my mum. But I didn't this year. Don't worry I'll make up for it some day soon.
I was reading something about someone's mum and what she learnt from her. So as practice to my speech that I would be giving at my wedding dinner, here are just some of the important things I've learnt from my mum.

• Be more giving to those in need and deserving
• Offer help, if you are able, when a friend needs it
• Work does not deter you from doing the dishes, cooking, cleaning and loving
• Family comes first
• Money is not an issue if family is involved
• Persevere until you succeed because success is definitely sweet

These are the stuff I can think about from the top of my head, really. She's my hero, for sure. A very strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and will work hard to get it. I hope to emulate her values.

I love you Mum :)

p.s: No, this is not your Mother's Day gift, don't worry. (I kid, my mum probably doesn't read this and she's not the I-love-presents type.)
