This is a picture of Dad and his oldest sis (2 years older. Dad's the second and she's the first). So technically she's my auntie, but I've been calling her and her husband "Mama" and "Papa" since I was a child. I call my birth parents "Mom" and "Dad".

The callings started when my parents left me for about a year to Hong Kong, and I was less than 2 year-old at that time. I was taken care by Mama and Papa, and their children aka my cousins. Their youngest child is 10 years older than me, so I was like their youngest sister :)

Not long my parents were back to Indonesia, we got bankrupt - but I never missed a birthday party of my own for years. Mama and Papa threw me the parties, bought the birthday dresses... Even until my parents and I moved to Jakarta when I was 9, they still sent me birthday gifts on my birthdays. They always treat me like their own daughter, and somehow we (my parents and I) owe our lives to them. They helped us a lot when we got financial difficulties.

Mama has been a mother to me and to Dad, even though we're only her niece and younger brother. The love she shares to us is motherly, and we thank her for that.

Anyway, I believe that every mother in the world is the best mother for their kids. And all mothers deserve to get crowned as "The Best Mother in the World" by their spouse and children...
