My first Mother's Day!

A year ago on Mother's Day in 2012

and this year, it's such a special Mother's Day because it's my very first Mother's Day! 




SJ was away for a business trip and I spent the whole of Mother's Day Sunday with my Mom. It was simple and nice to be able to spend some quiet time at home. The past few months have been crazy busy as I've got busier with work plus maintaining a house is no easy job. This Mother's Day brought a whole new realization to me: Being a mother is probably one of the toughest job ever. It's difficult and satisfying at the same time. All in the name of LOVE. 

I want to dedicate this Mother's Day to all women out there who are struggling with infertility, miscarriage and infant/child loss. I am so thankful and grateful to have this wonderful experience of being a mother and I appreciate my mother even more now. These statements are clearer to me now: You'll never understand the sacrifices that parents make until you become a parent, and Daughters appreciate mothers more especially after they become mothers themselves. Now I wonder if Sons feel the same towards their parents. 

Hope everyone had a meaningful Mother's Day. A constant reminder to myself: I should appreciate my parents and people around me all the time before it's too late. Everyday should be special! 

Ending this post with a picture of my ever-young looking dearest Mommy with her favourite person at the moment, her grandson!
