As a woman, I can really say this, you will never know how a mother's love is until you yourself become one.
It's time to go back to Malaysia to pack down mum's stuff... I left the house without giving away any of mum's beautiful clothes and mum's kitchen equipment. Some people asked for keeping mum's plates but I didn't give them all. I need to feel I am home when I reach home again next time.
I will be home again in Butterworth in three days time.At the old time, this moment at the other side of the world, mum would be so excited and busy of arranging things. She would ask the maid to take out all my clothes and towels for washing. She would change the bed sheet and fresh up my bedroom, waiting eagerly for my home return. She would have prepared the food which I love to eat on my arrival day.
At the same time, at my side here in Gothenburg, I would be busy shopping for stuff she wanted me to bring home as presents for neighbors and friends who have always helped her.
Today, I went for shopping anyway even though I didn't get the shopping list from mum anymore. I bought her favorite sour candy. There are cousins who like this candy too because of mum's sharing with them. On my way home, I thought of my bedroom in Malaysia which will not have any freshly washed bed sheets and my clothes waiting for me anymore, I felt so sad....
Gladly when I got home in the evening, there was a bedroom for me to tidy up. Mabel's room. Mabel decided to come back later, after I leave. I guess she doesn't want to say goodbye to me.. or perhaps she is angry with me because I'm going away for three months. She really need those extra 10 days for her relaxing and happiness, I understand. Well, I'm happy she stays back in Spain. Then I don't have to feel bad for leaving her with her dad on Friday. The only way I can comfort her is to let her come home to a clean bedroom with the new changed and washed bed sheets and pillow cases, and to a no-dust and tidy computer table.
Well, I have prepared some food for her in the freezer too. The different between 'me and mum' and 'me and Mabel' is, mum knew I don't know how to cook, so she cooked for me. Mabel is good in cooking though and so she doesn't really have any mummy's favorite that she is grieving for. I still made some just in case she is hungry in the middle of the night while she is watching a midnight show. I hope she got the love message though, just like I got my mum's...
Love you, mum... 爱 永 恒 的 爱，
Love you, Mabel... 你 永 无 止 境。。
Love you too, Jules... and all my female friends and relatives.
Hope our man, our boyfriend, our son understand a mother/woman's love too. Love you too, guys!
