Lately, Mom has been busy preparing for her church (mission) trip to Sarawak. So I helped by preparing meals. Earlier today, Mom thanked me for preparing the meals and her smile showed how grateful she really was.
And then it hit me. Who thanked her for the meals?
As a child, all I remember most times was complaining (or thinking) how dreadful it was to eat so much vege. How much rice I had to finish, basically, for every meal there was something I wasn't very happy about. Sad but true confession.
And so today, after 19 years, I finally realised how grateful I am to Mom for feeding us whether she felt up to it or now. So thanks Ma. For every meal you've prepared for us. No matter how much vege or rice you make us eat.
