A mother's day blogpost. :)

I also believe that parents, if they love you, will hold you up safely, above their swirling waters, and sometimes that means you'll never know what they endured, and you may treat them unkindly in a way you otherwise wouldn't. But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But, behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers is where yours begins...
- For One More Day by Mitch Albom -
I just finished reading the book where I got that very appealing quote, and I might say, I was really captivated, not just by the quote, but the whole story from the book. Oh, and a confession, actually, I'm quite soft in these touchy-feel-y stuff. I can cry when something is real sad, its quite the same with this book but somehow it is different in a way. I found myself being able to relate in the story and the situation the characters was in but, the funny/stupid thing is I was able to cry while reading the book, in front of my mom, and getting my nails done. (ROFL)I might say I learned quite a bucketful of life and love lessons from the book and the quote above being a piece of those lessons. And ironically, these lessons fit the occasion for today which is Mother's Day.So here's the drill. Although our moms are not perfect, they may seem too strict, a big KJs and just plain naggy, have you ever thought of
what they endured just to have you where you are tonight? How many sleepless nights they've spent? How many oceans they tried to cross? How many tears they shed? All just for you... So, say thank you to your mom for just everything and love with with no regrets.As for my mom, although she may never have a chance to read this. I love her more than anything. Even though there are so much things I've been wronged at, she loved me more than anything else but I didn't love her just for that reason. *chuckles*
So anyway, I am just so thankful that God gave me to her and I would never ever change it for the world.I LOVE YOU MOM. :)and a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU GUYS OUT THERE.
