My Mother my Superwoman Back when the days, I and my late brother were in primary school, my mother used to join the fishing team. From a temporary, until she became a regular member she received a higher share than temporary ones. I am the youngest, I am so close to her. There were times that I would come to them during fishing even late at night or as early as 2 am especially when no one left at home but me. As a kid, I love it, I will be playing with other kids whose parents are also with the fishing team while we are waiting at the seashore. In the morning, I will go to school, I am always late for class lol. I remember my teacher in the 4th grade asked me why I have more late attendance than on time, I told her “aside from farming we were fishing at night mam”. I even sold some fresh fish and vegetables along the way to school, and veggies from my father’s small farm in the village. I was not a good kid like others, I got my mother crying multiple times because of my stupidity, but I can’t remember a single moment that she gave up on me. The first thing I did that broke her heart was when I stopped school in the third grade. She did everything for us, she only wanted us to do good in school and finish study. I can still recall that she even works on fishing even though she was not feeling well, even with a fever. She taught me everything, how to do this and how to be strong and independent. She’s also one of my secret keepers about my love life lol, yes you read it clearly. Aside from my best friend who is now in heaven, my mother is also my crying shoulder if I got a broken heart. I grew up and stay with my mother until I got married. The first time I left home was in 2012, when I first work abroad. That, I realized how important a mother is, especially when you’re dependent on them. Every time I cook my food, I call my mother and ask her how to do this and that lol, even if she’s in a middle of a 3hours long prayer, she’ll stop and guide me. After that, she will start her prayer from the beginning and hope I will not call back while she’s not finished with her 3 hours yet LOL. That is mother’s love, it’s unconditional. When I got married, the first night that I slept with my wife at her parent’s residence, my sister messaged me late at night that they were outside together with my mother, they unwind and comfort her. My sister said, our mother was crying earlier mentioning about me, that her son was taken from her and abandoned her after almost 30 years. That was funny to those who don’t understand, but I can feel what she felt at that moment for my loving mother. If you still have your mother, please love them while you still can, because we are so lucky that we still have them. Life is short and precious so make the most of it.
