Hey there kind earthlings :D

Before I begin the next letter, I would just like to address something. I hope you may be able to give your prayers to a family friend, who recently gave birth to a premature child but suffered acute respiratory failure after the delivery. She is a beautiful and wonderful person, and a great friend of my aunt's. Although I haven't seen her for over 8 years, I still want this to be shared so together we can pray for her. InshaAllah (If God wills), she will be out of her state of coma. 

So the letter of the day goes to my mother!

ENJOY :D

Dear Mum,

Actually, no. That word doesn't even do you justice. Just plain old 'mum'. You deserve a multisyllable word that can recognize all your efforts and amazing-ness. Superiffic Mum. That's slightly better.

Ok

Dear Superiffic Mum,

I cannot even begin to comprehend the significant impact you have had on my life. All your imperative life lessons that have truly aided me in my hours of despair AND joy. Aside from that, your simple presence just makes me feel heaps safer and happier.

I have always looked up to you. Your ability to talk to people, find a solution to every problem and deal with life’s complications. I used to look at mothers in movies, who would let their children throw their temper tantrums, and act nothing of it, or the mothers who would sit around most of the day, doing lord-knows-what.

I used to get annoyed that you were always doing something. But then I realised that I am just like you. I cannot sit for a second straight without having to do something, or feeling guilty for not. I thought of it as a curse, but really it’s the biggest blessing of all.

Productivity, moderation, acceptance, speaking up, loving, forgiving, honesty. All these you emphasised. You told me to do my personal best. You stood by every decision I made.

You founded your own school! And with a billion other commitments, you are still successfully running it.

I don’t want this to be a short letter, but I am quite sure that you’d appreciate me studying for tomorrow’s test rather than going on about how great you are. Modesty as always.

But I want you to know this mum, even if I do not get to personally deliver this to you, I want you to know that you have always been my number one. Thank you so much for making my childhood so pleasant, and for pampering me like a princess, and for equipping me with all your tricks on how to cope with life’s stresses, and most importantly, enjoy them and love life. I LOVE YOU MAMA :’D
