When TK posted in her blog that she just visited her mum 500km away from her home, I wished that I could just leave for my mum's ~ she lives 450km away, a shorter distance...
hehehe...
so instead, I searched for something that would cheer me up, and ended up with this video..
I first watched it without the translation,
it really moved me...
mmm, sadly...sometimes I argue with my mum,
but I do hope she'll always forgive me...

Before I Was Myself, You Made Me, Me
(by Nicholas Gordon)
Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me, me
With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,
Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me, me,
And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.
For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

tengok pun tahu, Cheqna ni sure anak yang baik lagi solehah. kata orang kasih ibu bawa ke syurga, tentu apa saja salah dan silap anaknya, dimaafkannya sebelum anak sempat minta maaf.

Cheqna, you're really more lucky than me...
