Mother's Day

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.

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 :)

Happy Mother's Day, Mothers

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?

Dad and "Mama" (Taken in May 2007)

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 :)

More Than Just an Aunt

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...

... because Mother's Day is nearing.
