Mummy's hurt..

I use to make fun of my mummy's toothless-ness when I was young and she always cover up jokingly by saying, if you eat alot of sweets it will be like this. Never once have I doubt that it isn't the truth till yesterday.

I came back after visiting Jacky and sat down to have dinner. Mummy sit together with me to accompany me to eat. I wanted to share some food with her and when she was biting with her back tooth, I asked her out of curiosity saying.. Mummy ar.. Why is your teeth broken ar? And she replied saying, when I bear all of you, the loss of calcium causes the teeth to slowly fall off one by one. And I ask her, why didn't you go and buy milk to drink for calcium?! And she replied with tears in her eyes.. Because we were very poor and all of you are still young, we need the money for the milk powder and the living expenses. We couldn't afford.

After hearing this.. my heart broke and I think I haven't really been a good boy from young. I've caused more troubles and not much honour was brought in return for the sacrifices my mum made. The least I could do now is to give her all the respect I can and really work hard to pay back for the love she gave to me.

I think, every of our parents have their hidden hurts when bringing all of us up. Let's learn to honour our parents more and love them more and givo to them more bah..

Take care all.. =)
