Today, it's about you...
It feels so much like yesterday when i was merely a young child. Depending so much on you for my every needs. How i'd scream and cry just to get my way. Yet you slowly nurtured, guided, and above all attended to my selfish needs.
And then i grew slightly older. The pampering toned down a little, it was the beginning of my growing up stage. But i was still so much the baby being the youngest child. I used to sit in school in primary one and think what would i ever do should you no longer be here? I used to say I had a headache just to come home to see you. I was just really attached to you.
I was already quite heavy at that time and yet, you still carried me despite the pains in your back when i wasn't well or plain sleepy. But you always had the ideal measure of being stern when needed to. I still remember the time you held a cane in one hand and a book in the other. It was a traumatizing day, but if it wasn't for tht day my time table i would still not know.
Through ups and downs you always kept the family together in firm prayer. I remember how you'd pray for daddy to one come to know the Lord. Although things didn't quite go according to plan, you held steadfast to God's word and watched as he raised us up again, now as a family in the Lord.
There subsequently came a time when i began to see the world in a different light. My friends mattered more, my home was just a placed i was confined to. I complained, i threw tantrums, I shouted, I rebeled, I did everything i knew that would make you sad, make you cry, just to get my way. You were sad and you did cry, but you never let go.
Looking back, it was because of that that I am who I am today. Because you protected, you guided, and you cared. But more importantly, because you loved.
I'm sorry for the times i broke your heart, for the times i made you cry, or the times you thought you failed. Because you, didn't fail. You raised us both, Che and I better then we can ever hope to be. For without you, we would never have seen the light of day.
Although i doubt you will ever see the words i write of you. But sincerely these are the words from my heart.
I Love You Ma, We Love You..
