I celebrated my birthday back at home. It was a simple birthday, no birthday song and no birthday cake but it was filled with love. I received wishes from dad & William & tones of greetings from close friends - all the way from Guilin, from my Wed Grp, friends from Singapore, KL & Mcca. Simple yet thoughtful messages.
I thank the Lord for His blessings. I felt so grateful to be brought up with so much love especially the love from my family. I missed mum so much on my birthday. Without her, I won't be here. I love to hear my childhood stories from mum. I never get bored of listening to her saying over and over again. I remembered how mum struggled through until the day I was born. How she feel when the private hospital rejected her because of her weak body, the difficult time of having blood transfusion during my birth, and the joy when she found out that her baby girl was born healthy.
All I wanted was to spend time with my family over a simple meal. Dad suggested to have a high tea after mass. Daddy is a quiet person towards us after mum passed on. He keeps things to himself and doens't share much with us. He didn't express much either but I know he loves me & William. Dad personally wished me with a handshake before the high tea. It was a simple wish but it was the moment that I felt so much love & care through his eyes.
I thank God for the gift of friendship, for giving me a caring & loving friend, Dan to be with. It is a friend that is willing to give and never ask anything back from me. A friend who accepted me as I am and who is always there for me.
As I looked back, I see & feel so much love. I hope and wish to give all my love to others as well and to be there especially for my family & love ones.
