DEAR
MA,
This
day is for you. Before we continue, we are very sorry if sometimes we can’t
express our words verbally. We are shy to greet you in person, uncomfortable in
showing love through kisses, hugs, and avoid when you tell that you earn the “I
love you” thing. We can’t say it directly, we were never been a showy type of
persons.
However,
we know that you are fully aware that we love you so much. You surely feel
that, don’t you? Since childhood, your cuddles are our favorites compared to
that of other people’s. We have had hard times in suppressing our tears if you
leave us in the four corners of our classroom in Day-Care. We weren’t able to
sleep if you don’t lie behind us, unable to eat voraciously without you in the
dining table. You’re the one whom we search immediately from the bed in the
morning. When situations come that we need to be separated for a while, we
thought that we couldn’t survive. You’re really the first most important people
in our lives.
If
you have a quarrel, even with our father, we are always on your side even
though sometimes, we know that you’re the one whom we should blame. But we
spoil your faults. And we rather spoil you than recognize your mistakes. Yes, that
is not a good thing but we do it steadfastly and tirelessly. We were blind by
our priceless love for you. It’s hard for us to suspect you, to blame you, and
to split our sides. We think that you’re the most almost perfect person living in the world.
But
the thing is even how great our love to you, the day will certainly come when we
will commit to family life. In that time, you expect us to fully separate from you
because our hearts are not already solely dedicated to you, to our father, or to
our siblings. In that time, we have already found another new great love, a
love that will be the greatest that we could dedicate to people while we have
still our breaths. However, we assure this thing: we won’t forget you (and we couldn’t
forget you), you will stay still in our hearts. Even though we can’t pay our indulgence
to you, we will adhere to our own family the love we have inherited from you.
We
are aware that the day will come when you will long for us but we are not
already longing for you. We won’t be aware that you cry every night because of
us. You will always think about us but it will be rare for us to do the same. You
will always remember our birthdays even without marking the calendar, but we wouldn’t
be able to always remember yours. Your advice will still be overflowing, your
love will remain unchanged, it didn’t decrease like what our love to you has
ended.
So
we hope and try that we could take an advantage of this time that we can still
let you feel our presence as your children, that you’re still the first in our
hearts. And we wish that before we enter in the stage of a family-committed
person, we can already say the words you yearn from us to say: “I
LOVE YOU, MOM!”
And
we’ll continue proving it to you until your last breath in this fleeting world.
