Very sorry that I did not make you a card, or gave you a flower. However, instead of making you a card or giving you a flower, I wanted to do something different and that is writing my deepest gratitude as your son on this blog - letting those who read know how great a mum you are to me.
I am glad that I have a mum like you. There were occasions when you did not allow "that thing" to be the way I wanted, and in my frustration and anger, I sometimes felt that I would rather have a mum that would allow me to do what I want.
But as years go by and as I have grown in maturity, looking back at how you stopped me from doing the things I wanted, has made me the person I am today. And I am glad that you placed a stop to it before matters got bad or worst.
I am sorry for quarreling with you and arguing with you over unimportant matters. Sorry for the times when I hurt your feelings. I hope that you will forgive me. Sorry for the times when I made you angry and upset, because of all my nonsense and stupidity. Thank you for being so patient with me. Tolerating all the problems that I gave you, be it at home or in school.
You could have put a stop to all the problems that I gave you by throwing me out of school and placing me in a public school, but you did not. And I am indeed grateful!! Thank you..=)
Mummy, thank you for all the painful sacrifices you made to raise jie jie, ling ling and myself all these years. I pray that all the strength, time, labor, wisdom, and tears that you have given to us, God will return to you in blessings : press down, shaken, and overflowing!
Thank you for teaching me, whether it is the Word of God or the Lifepacs, cooking for me, providing for all my essential needs, correcting me, directing me in the right path, and most importantly, thank you for LOVING ME!! hehehe..=)
One very amazing thing about my mum is, she is able to teach us something that she herself is not very good in. She is able to teach so well, that we have become much better than her. Not many people are able to do that.
For example you are not really good in a certain subject, and you are given the responsibility to teach someone else the subject. When you teach the person, the person is able to understand, and in the end do fantastically well in it.
My mum is that kind of a person. =)
In conclusion , I would want to wish my wonderful mum a:
- BLESSED BIRTHDAY -
Mum, I pray that God will grant you the very desires of you heart and withhold not the requests of your lips. Continue to grow in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man. I declare that the:
strength of Samson
faith of Abraham
patience of Noah
wisdom of Solomon
speed of Elijah...
to be upon you on this very prestigious day.
I LOVE YOU MUMMY!!
Oh yes, one more thing...this Ring-Heart is for you!
With Love: Your Son..David Poh
