Mothers Day. Part II

I have been blessed with 2 mothers almost all my life... really!!

My first (biological) mother is Mak who conceived me, carried me in her womb for 9 months ++ and delivered (normal) 6lb 3 oz (2.8kg - I was a small baby) me to the world almost 39 years go and has loved me just like the rest of my sisters and brother all these years......

My other mother is Mak Yah, my Mak's elder sister, who, since I was 1 year old, has been raising me, looked after my welfare and loved me... until now.

Mak Yah was the one who would be at my side for all the important events in my life...... especially during its first 20 years.... my days at kindy, my first day at school, my exams, my major exam results, good news and bad..... Mak Yah was the one writing me letters (in jawi) every month without fail when I was studying abroad, sometimes with bankdraft worth around GBP300.00. After (potential) hubby proposed to me, Mak yah was the first person I introdcued hubby to to get her blessings. Had she said "no", I wouldn't have proceeded but hubby made quite an impression that Mak Yah asked to expedite tying the knot. Only then, I proceeded to tell the rest of my family......

And on Mothers Day itself, I wouldn't have forgotten this equally important person in my life... I had a small gift for her which she accepted with tears in her eyes........

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MAK YAH!!
