It's timely to thank God for my one and only mom in my life. There is a chinese saying " We can choose our friends and spouse, but we can't choose who is our parent." God has placed them in our lives and it's God's given gift to us.

I have an excellent mummy. I always call her "mother". She is a slim (very slim) lady. She takes good care of all my siblings very well. She gave birth to 4 of us and yet she can maintain that figure, cool! I hope to get her genes, hehehe! She is a full time housewife and she has given her youth and years in taking care of the family. She is a simple lady and is faithful to her one and only husband. She is not demanding from her children and she is very generous to all her children. One thing I'm impressed of her is that she is really committed to my dad. When dad got a serious stroke 71/2 years ago, she struggled in the beginning yet she continued to take care of him till now. Now, she has adjusted well and I learnt this great lesson from her life is that she took her marriage vow very seriously! mom, you are my hero man! Oh, another thing I really like is my mom's cooking! I loved all the dishes she cooked - the Teochew food! yummy! (Salted vegetables soup, steam egg, cabbage fried rice, fried pork, Ba Gu teh, Sze Chuan soup, and many many more....). The way she show her love to others is feed them. Those who stayed or stays with me, can testify that. She will always feed them! ha!

My 2 brothers and my elder sis, may not be able to spend quantity time with her, our mom didn't get upset with us because she knows each of us have our committment in their own family and work. She is a very understanding leady. I'm really very grateful to God that She is given to us!

Last thursday, during the labour day holiday, I went shopping with Mom at Toa Payoh! We just walked and eat for 3-4 hours. We just spent time looking at things and just taking her out for a break from staying at home. My mom just enjoy this simple time of buying clothes and walking around.

My mom is the greatest woman in the world! I admire her, I respect her and most of all, I do hope she will come to know Jesus and we will meet each other after death and be sister in Christ! ha!

Jesus, bless my mom and grant her good health. Let her experience love and care from the children. And through us, she will understand how much Jesus cares for her. Bring her to understand you and know you. In Jesus name, I pray, Amen!
