Show us your mother.
See how beautiful she was on her engagement and wedding day...
Took this picture on her 63rd birthday. The last birthday she had.
My heart still breaks every time I see this picture. I took this picture secretly with my camphone on Thursday - December 01, 2005. In about 15 hours after I took this picture, she passed away...
And this is the picture that's hanging on the wall of our living room. The same picture she had on her ID :)
This banner I dedicate for my Mother and Mother's Day. Will put it off tomorrow morning. These pictures were taken in a photo booth of Somerset MRT Station - Singapore, in 1994. She's not fat in this picture, but her face was swollen from the medicine she took. She'd had a fight against Lupus since 1990 and lost the battle in 2005. What a warrior queen, eh? :)
What's the best thing about your mom?
Words can't never describe how wonderful she was as a woman, a child of God, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a wife, and a mother. Selfishly, I'd say that I don't care if anyone think that their mother is the best, but none can ever beat my Mom :)
Anyway, I think the best thing about my Mom is that she's a woman of God who always prayed for her husband and daughter, day and night - until her last day on Earth.
I came across this entry and suddenly I felt the loss. Somewhat I am "happy" that Mother's Day isn't celebrated in Indonesia. Our "Mother's Day" is celebrated on December 20, and it's not really a Mother's Day, but Women's Day.
I have no child to give me a kiss this morning
I have no mother-in-law, no matter how annoying she could be, to give a hug today
But I am thankful that God gives me a chance to once felt how happy it was having a mother
And I am honored that God still gives me a chance to take care of my father
My little dogs, thank you for being my kids in our own weird ways
Thank You, Lord
for being my Father and my Mother
for loving me and taking care of me much better than any parents in the world can do
Happy Mother's Day, God
Anyway, this is the e-card I sent to all mothers I know. My friends and my aunts. Please consider this as the e-card I send you too :)
My parents and I were very frank to each other. It's a good thing, but sometimes being too honest is not really a good thing :D Even when Mom was still with us, Dad's been always said that he loved Mom more than he loved me, and he's seriously unhappy that Mom loved me more than she loved him. Hehe. She never asked him what to eat daily, but every time she went to a market, she always asked me what I'd have for lunch and dinner.
Just imagine how much I miss my mother now? :)
I've never told my parents, but honestly deep inside, I loved Mom more than I loved Dad. I loved them both, but I was closer to Mom. She's my best friend, but Dad, even though he's a great guy, he's never been our really close friend :D He lives in his own world, he doesn't like talk much to us. It's not a bad thing, but we're chatty and we like to go out. He never want to leave the house if it's not really important. We've never had such thing like family picnic, but it's fine because he's been a very faithful and honest husband to my Mom - and that's the best thing a father can do for his children.
So dear Mommy in Heaven,
Just to let you know that you're still my favorite - and this is my Mother's Day e-card for you :)

Love,
Connie
Besides yours, who do you think deserves "The Best Mother in the World" award?

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...
