There are a lot of things I could say about growing up and being lucky enough to have this woman as my Mum. I could talk about how she sacrificed her career to be a SAHM after my sister was born just so that she could take care the both of us. I could talk about all the times she had to constantly meet my Primary School teachers because I was so mischievous. 😅 I could talk about how she had always tried her best to provide me with the best even though we are not well-off.
But maybe I’ll save all of that for another time. Because the most important thing I realise now that I’m much older (and mature) is how much of an influence she has been in my role as a parent. Striving to be more patient and understanding, not raising my voice at the kids (it’s still in a work-in-progress 😆), to be around them during their growing up years – she was and still is my inspiration. Well, all of those and inheriting her disdain for ants too. LOL.
I guess, all this being said, the most important thing I want to say is thank you. Thank you for inspiring me into the Dad I am today. Thank you too, for continuing to take care of the monkies all these years so that the wifey and I go off to work everyday without any worries. The only thing better than having her as my mum is that my children have her for a grandmother.
