On this special day of mine, I wish to express my deepest gratitude & celebrate my Mama. ~ The Woman of my Life. 👸 💕
Her resilience, kindness, compassion and quiet strength have shaped me throughout my growing years in ways words can never fully capture. I am who I am today because of the love she poured into me & my brother selflessly ~ expressed in the only possible ways she could have known.
Growing up in a family with an unsupportive father, it was her presence that held everything together. I watched her quietly take on both roles, carrying us through with a strength that often went unnoticed.
Looking back at my teenage years, I oftened felt her distant but I later understood why. That distance was never because she didn’t care, it was because she herself had never been loved the way she truly deserved. Yet despite that, she showed up for us with everything she had.
And the amazing thing is Love will find its way! 😍 Despite her many ‘rejections’ over the years, the whiny encouragements from me & my kids have helped her slowly let go of the OLD LIMITING BELIEF that “LOVE SHOULDN’T BE SAID OUT LOUD.” (我们的年代没有讲这些的啦 & brushing me away was her exact words)
She used to reserve her HUGS and “I LOVE YOU” mainly for her grandkids, but today, she happily gives me hugs without pushing me away anymore and she says “I LOVE YOU” with EASE and Glowing Happiness. 🥰 Watching her soften and embrace love so warmly has been one of the most beautiful blessings in my life. 😇 🙏
And on my birthday, my heart is full and all I want is to celebrate her 🥰
❤️ Full of Gratitude for a mother who loves us fiercely in her own way.
❤️ Full of appreciation for how far she has come.
❤️ And full of love for the woman who has always been my SAFE PLACE even before she learned to say the words out loud.
Thank you Mama for being mine. ☺️
I LOVE YOU ❤️
Ps: the first clip of her laughing happily was becos we “force” her to say “I Love you” 3 times to the 3 of us after we came back from our trip & didn’t see her for a week 🤣
