Since the day we are born until the day we die, there is nothing more comforting than being taken care of by your mother. May it be the age of 5, 20 or even 50, you always want your mother when you are sick, or going through a crisis or even just to gossip with.
I know growing up, I was never an easy child and I constantly fought with her about my opinions and how different they were to hers. How she was old fashioned and life wasn't how it was when she was a kid. And yet, despite all my tantrums, everyday as I left the house, she would say she loved me.
My mother is a simple woman. She's doesn't care what people wear or what they say, as long as they are good at heart. She's the type of person who will cuddle with you when you're not feeling well and feed you even when you're not hungry. She turned from being my mother to being one of my closest friends. A person who is always there for me.
Being a mother is not easy task, as you can see here. But it's one of the most important jobs in the world. And one that other people take for granted.
So here's to you mummy. Thank you for being there for me and believing in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Thank you for bearing with my tantrums and stubbornness since I was born. Thank you for allowing me to irritate you every single day. And most of all, thank you for loving me unconditionally.
I love you (even though I may not say it enough)
So here is to another 23 years of annoying you and many more.
