I woke up at 6 today and realised how much more comforted I felt when I saw my mum the moment I opened my eyes today.
Somehow or another, she brings me warmth and encourages me to start my day immediately with ease, even though she was still fast asleep.

Now I guess everyone needs their mother. And they probably receive different forms of security and affection from them. Her presence seem to bring me much emotional satisfaction. :)

Well, I must have been too blind to have seen how much she has loved me all this while. But none the less, I'm determined to love her more as I grow older. Now its rather senseless, but I finally found out why they always say "You'll understand when you get older." - I used to just say it for the sake of feeling older and more mature; but now I really do.

Its that form of stress and anxiety when you're not sure what time someone you love will get home.
The same form of insecurity when you don't receive a call from your loved one for a very long time.
The same confusion and curiosity when you don't know where your loved one is, and whether he/she's safe.
Its the same form of self sacrifice that you offer to someone you love, even though you know they may not understand your agony or situation.

I guess that's it. I often ask myself - how does mommy express her love to her children? She's always upset, disappointed, frustrated, anxious and makes seemingly unreasonable demands. But I guess that's how she is. That's how she loves us. And she'd never share her pain and agony no matter how much she feels it.

Now that's my mum. :) She's absolutely awesome. I love her. And I know she's just one of the many great mum's on earth today. :)

Happy Mothers' Day to all the mommy's in the world. May you always love us the way you do. :)
