i got stranded outside my house today because i had no keys.

my mum came all the way from work to open the door for me.. and she got me dinner. i found a note next to a bowl of food saying: tammy, 记得吃这个！好好吃的！

not because it's mother's day... but just that moment, i realized how much i love my mum. there have been countless times where she'll stop what she's doing.. and sacrifice her time, just because i'm being a bitch and complaining that i can't get home... or that i need this and that. my mum is willing to do what it takes to make me happy.. and when i'm sad, when i cry.. my mum is there to give me a hug - or try and buy things to make me smile again. my mum is the one who sleeps on the couch outside my room, making sure my fever isn't too high... or that when i'm about to puke - someone is there to clean up the mess :(

my mum is the one that listens to me rant about my friends and how much they piss me off. she's the one listening to me rant about my dad bagging me, or when my brother decides to pull a massive bad prank on me.

she does so much for me, and yet in return.. she doesn't ask for anything but my love. i admit.. at times i've been a horrible daughter. i take her for granted, i ask for too much, i yell at her just because i can.. and when she asks me to tell her i love her - i refuse.

sometimes i refuse to show affection - i'm sorry for those times. i'm sorry for the times i made you worry, for the times i make you angry because i want everything my way. i'm still just as immature and naive.. and just because i'll be hitting the big 18 tmr, doesn't mean i've grown up yet - i haven't.

i still need your love and care

i hope you know that

<3

happy mother's day mum.
