My mummy reads every single post I write. Each and every one of them. Including the comment pages! (Yes, now you know.) How could I not dedicate one post to her on her special day? A day that defines such a big part of her life! Ugh, even the mere mention of it is shameless. Utterly shameless.
I didn't want to be boring and conventional. You know how every Mother's Day dedication is but another reflection of what the writer's mother has done for him/her?
*snore*
Well... mine comes with a slight twist. Sure, all you'll read below are things we've already done as mother and daughter – a seemingly casual reflection of the nature of our relationship and of the course it's taken to get us to where we're at in terms of our emotional and relational bond with one another.
The difference?
Think: FUTURE TENSE.
Think: FUTURE TENSE.
What I'm about to write won't be mushy. It probably won't even make her cry. (I said "probably".) But then again, it isn't about the words I write or the many thesaurus pages I flip through to find just the right word to squeeze that couple of tears out of her. No. It'll be about what I'll do in days to come. Actions speak louder than words. Therefore, this reflection also serves as a lifelong promise from me to Mee.
So, Mee, this is for you.
I love you.
--------
I'll drive when the alpha male isn't around and it's just you and me alone in the car. I'll yak on and on and on as we journey along to wherever it is we want to go to. I'll tell you about the things I see, the oddities I encounter, and the people I meet.
I'll send you installers and teach you to use chat programs. I'll share the latest celebrity (and sometimes local) gossip. I'll update you on the very latest in the music and movie scene. I'll go shopping with you (and you with me). I'll make sure you stay up to date with what's in and what's not.
I'll tell you about my life (and I'll listen to you about yours while we're at it). I'll tell you about whatever it is I'm going through. I'll tell of my joys and sorrows. I'll pour my heart out. I know you'll listen. I know you'll understand. I know you'll care. I know you'll be there.
I love you.

Why?
Cos you have yet to prove me otherwise.

– No. Me is no joking about such thinks. I don't lead double lives. Why shouldn't my mom read my posts? The way I am at home is the way I am out of home.
Wow, ur mum is even your biggest fan. You are hers too. Put that in!
You still havent told us what you did for mothers day. A blog post !? Comon!
I still cried (no surprises here).
Yes, it's been a good ride and I know the ride's gonna get better.
A tree is known by its fruit, so if I'm SuperMee it's because of my SuperBee.
Love you always, forever and no matter what
