For the times you rushed to my side when I scraped my knees
For blowing air gently while you nurse a wound
For the moments I run to you after climbing down a school bus
For all the times I watched you dig into the ground
For the permed hair, the straight one, the long and the short (I’ll always love you with your boycut)
For every time I watched you cook my favorite dishes
For bailing me out of detention
For sitting through my whole graduation rites
For smiling at me when I received my first academic medal
For being there when I won at a writing contest
For the coffee, the Chinese food, the Italian cuisine, the pizzas and the cakes
For the shopping expenses
For the credit card bills (hehe ^_^)
For working so hard it burns you out
For sending me to a good school
For swallowing your pride so I can have what I need
For the time you embraced me through my first heartbreak
For accepting my mistakes
For pulling me after a hard fall
For being my personal cheerleader
For siding with me even when I was wrong
For fighting the battles I can no longer face
For being the father I never had
For watching me grow
For being my best and most trusted friend
For saving me
and
For all the moments in between…
Thank you, Mommy. Words would never be enough. You will always have me… as much as I know that I will always have you. Happy Mother’s Day!
xoxo
