Prayer for Day 15.
Dear Lord, please bring your peace and help me out of this

A tribute to Mum

After all the brief storms.. love will remain
During arguments which arise from trivial differences, it's strange, and rather shameful to know that from a matter so insignificant, heated hostile debates accompanied by surges of anger take over and control us, which is followed by cold wars and a mouth full of bitterness. We should realise how inconsiderable this kind of experience is, and in the sadness that follows the momentary fury, recollect the incident with an open heart and know that there is no love like a mother's love.
Many claim that our parents do not understand us, but on the other side of the dispute, few of us stop to think that we never really tried to understand our parents either. The sacrfices, the work, the effort, and all the intangible things that they gave which do not take a physical form yet matter most of all. Maybe a part of it is responsbility, an obligation, or a duty as a parent. But in the first place, they could have just put you up for adoption. So no matter how seemingly minute the things that our parents do for us, let us be thankful for them.

I never really understood the way things are until I was older, I went through the usual phases of thoughts of my mum being a nag, she expects too much, she wants this and wants that. And no matter how cliche this is, wiser adults have been constantly telling us that it is all for our own good. And finally, I beginning to grasp what they were saying, through life with my mum. The sacrfices that my mum made are plenty... and every single thing she did, she always had me in mind. Her children were first priority in life, and well... she loves us.. and it's mutual.
Teenage pride (?) has been a barrier in communication when it comes to words. She hugs me and stuff, but it's never returned. Not because I dont want to, but cause I dont know how(?) And well...all those mushy words.. not me to say them.. dont know how as well.. ha... But yes.... I just want to tell you guys.. dont take your mum for granted.. or your dad.. you never know when they are gonna be taken away from you.

I love you mum!
( as sadistic as this sounds, should anything happen to me, someone please print this out and give it to my mum)
