happy mother's day, mom.
you know, mother's day is one of those days that make you realize something. whether it be appreciation or abhorrence, you feel something nevertheless. for some, this may be a day filled with smiles because your mother is the best mom in the whole world who is always there for you. for others, it may be a day when you realize that you are different from everyone else because you don't have a mother for specific reasons. and there are still some others who have a mother but can't show their utmost appreciation. such person, is myself.
when there is a distance of almost half of the world between you and your mother, it's not that easy. i would have showered her with flowers and done all the house chores for her so she could get some rest. but unfortunately, i can't pull money out of my pocket, buy a plane ticket, and jet on over. i can call her, but it's not the same talking to her in person. i could e-mail her, but that's so impersonal sometimes. and then to think of all the times she's helped me... i feel horrible not being able to do a lot for her.
but mom, if you ever feel like perusing through this weblog, i just want to let you know that you are such a wonderful mother and an amazing person. i'm blessed to have you as my mother. i love you and miss you a lot.
