[ A Mum's Unconditional Love ]

How I always seem to forget how strong a mother's unconditional love truly is...

Today... with the morning off I decided to be a good daughter and spend some time with my mum...and even take her for a drive to Corrimal because she wants to desperately have her own bakery again and yes...there was a decent sounding one for sale down south... so as a good daughter I decided to be kind and take mum for the drive...

And I guess thinsg do happen for a reason. For the drive down and back we spent lots of time catching up and having those mother-daughter chats and how you feel that strong and ever so present unconditional love is just amazing!

Everyone will say that I am probably the most distant from my family... but everyone also knows that both my parents have this soft spot for me... more than the fact I am their daughter... and the youngest at that LOL... but my sisters especially would whinge about the idea that I am the most rebellious....most distant...least likely to be around...but yet... probably the one my parents will do anything for! =D

And I used to just laugh at it and take it to advantage...hehehe... but I think as I have grown up I have grown to realise that it's more than favouritism...it's this unconditional love that people speak about.

It's that constant want and urge to be in as much of my life as I will allow them...because the true reason why we are probably distant is because I don't give myself enough time to spend with them... and without that time...how can we be close?

But I thank mum for the chat today....because although I hate the fact she is almost always right... this time... I am happy to follow her desires and listen to her wise words.... because I know she just cares so much and worries about me everyday...

I know what I really need to do in next 18 to 24 months... and that is to help my parents be able to relax and only work because they want to....rather than they financially need to....

If there is sometime I know I can do well... that is work hard and earn some monies... I guess I just need to start diverting the money towards my parents now for all their unconditional love and support...rather than splurge it on short lived breaks/holidays and big shopping sprees in Melbourne LOL.... but forgive me ... because I won't GIVE UP the shopping sprees.... just cut them down... LOL

So this to my mum.... and my 2nd mum (my Ma).... thank you to you both... because Ma, you were there when I turned my back on Mum... and continue to be there through my tuoghest times...and Mum... you continue to welcome me back with open arms no matter what the case/event/issue is at hand...and even though it is sometimes a silent conversation... I know you love me and just worry about me... =D and I thank you both for that... =D
