My Mother my Best Friend :-)

Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.

I have been asked many a times, who is my best friend? It is always assumed (wrongly) that you need to choose one from your group of friends…No, not in my case. I beg to differ….To me, the best friend is someone who cares for you dearly, someone who puts themselves last when making a decision, someone who will truly give their life to save the other and most of all, someone who do not give a damn who you are, how you look , what you do for a living.

Someone who is ready to take over your burden, someone who holds you tight when you cry,someone who knows you are in trouble even when you are in silence, someone who does not get tired leading you and staying awake all night through when you are sick. I can keep going on and this list will never end.

And so, I always respond with pride, that my Best Friend is My Mother who I affectionately call Mommy Dearest. She is my role model, my confidant, my advisor, my joy, my love and most of all, a quite achiever. She says a lot with her hugs, kisses, and smile. I know I have not been the easiest child to be looked after but she endured everything with no complaints.

I know I have not done much in return but all I can say is Thank You for everything. Thank you for keeping me close to your heart. Thank you for not giving up on me even if I had many times. Thank you for sitting by me when I’m sick and making sure I feel better. Thank you for knowing when I’m down or in trouble and ask about it. Thank you for listening and being there for me. Thank you for putting me first before your needs. I miss you so much and the distance makes me yearn for u even more…

Love you mummy dearest, have a great day and you deserve the break cos u took on the world’s biggest hardworking, unpaid, no holiday job and carried it out immensely well.

Happy Mother's Day Mommy,
Hugs, Love and Kisses.
Your one and only daughter who is always proud of you :-)
