The dark and deep eye bags and wrinkles, how saddening it can be to see a pretty lady becoming so haggard because of her daughter, after having to take care of her for almost 15 years I guess?
I knew of their existence about 10 years ago. When I first saw the mother and daughter, my initial thought was that the daughter was kinda retarded. But after that almost 50secs in the lift with them, she was just abit slower in speech and her actions, not exactly that retarded. At that point in time, nothing much came to my mind. However, when I walked past them while walking to the bus stop just now, the "classy" looking Mummy I knew seemed all so worn out, but still with the smiles on her face, it suddenly caught me thinking of how great Mothers could be.
I see them once in a while, sometimes with the Daddy too, and they were a really loving family, of which i admire. They walk around with arms around each other, smiling, laughing and she could be hugging her daddy all the way till the 17th storey where they exit the lift, it was a really beautiful sight everytime.
Mummy and Daughter is what I see most. Mummy will send her daughter to the bus stop to wait for her school bus every morning, pick her up then after, buy Mac for her (I always see them carrying it. =P) etc. There was once, I remembered really clearly, Mummy was combing her Daughter's hair and the girl was smiling very sweetly. Once it was done, the Daughter took the comb from Mummy and did the same thing for her. Isn't it just so sweet?
But why must it be when 1 party isn't really "normal" where these scenes will enact? Or probably I'm the only one feeling like that? I can't remember when was the last time I did something that required close interaction with Mummy or Daddy. The only recent thing I can remember that Daddy did that really touched my heart was when I broke up. Honestly, at that point in time, I really felt like his daughter. He didn't say much. But sitting quietly beside my bed for afew hours and looking at me cry every tear off was simply good enough. ((:
I know they care for me and I care for them too. But somehow, the way we show all these cares aren't like them? And sometimes/once in awhile, I just need this kind of care from them? I seriously had no idea when I last hugged Mummy at all! We can be super good friends that go shopping together but we never once held hands while walking unlike some Mummy and Daughters on the road.
This is just a ptiy.
Ok, is this sudden feeling in the morning a "Pre Mother's Day" symptom? Haa! If so, Happy Mother's Day in advance. ((:
Talking about Mother's Day, my 2 dearest cousins, uncle and aunty won't be joining us for the dinner this Saturday! Super uper uper uper SADD! )): I miss them dearly! We never had it without their family or rather without any families not being able to make it. Boo! Ok. Nevermind. Father's Day in June. Shall wait. If not, will try to go back for dinner when they're coming over to porpor's house! In the mean time, I shall enjoy the good food there on that night. It's a freaking $45+++ per person!
