This is my mother...
She has never been on the cover of a magazine
(tak macam anak kembar dia yang dua orang tu.... - jangan marah AA & EE...! LoL), and most likely never will.
But she IS beautiful! She doesn't color her hair, or wear makeup
(with the exception of maybe 'bedak sejuk' couple of times a year) or own any designer clothes. But this woman has made hundreds of
'cok-kodok',
'nasi lemak,' 'rendang'..etc... from scratch, made thousands of delicious meals for her husband and children
(at times with quite limited supplies) and folded tens of thousands of clothes! She has driven thousands of miles toting
kirotang adik-beradik to and from school,
'kelas agama', 'balik kampung' dan banyak lagi. She has taught us, her seven children, how to read, write, balance a checkbook, prepare dinner, plant a garden, and generally how to be confident, well rounded human beings. She is now helping to teach most of these things to her 20 grandchildren....! She has been faithful, loving and devoted to her husband for over 54 years.
She is our mother and she is beautiful! We love you Mak..
from all of us.....along, angah, kak lang, kak cik, bang cik, EE & AA
and...
Happy Mother's Day to all of you BEAUTIFUL women!
