As always, something that goes hand in hand with any celebration - FOOD FOOD FOOD!
This year, we decided to go back to Melaka to celebrate mum's day. Past years and for many years, we celebrated it a week or two before.
We went to Seoul Garden for a buffet dinner on Saturday. Sarah as usual couldn't sit still. Thank God it was very spacious outside Seoul Garden in Mahkota Parade. So after having 80% of our stomachs filled, the adults kinda took turns to take care of her while she was busy running about.
Coming back from Melaka on Sunday evening, we celebrated the day with dinner at Restaurant Sim Set You Fook in Taman Mutiara, Cheras with my in-laws.
What else took place during my short visit in Melaka? Well, we visited my grandma on Saturday morning. It wasn't a planned thing but I did wish to visit her when I'm back. When I spoke to Mum days before, she mentioned that grandma had a fall. When old people fall, that's really no joke. Months ago, grandma fell too and knocked her head! She was then rushed to the hospital to be treated as I heard there was bleeding in her head. :( She's not feeling well and needed people around her to take care of her. I know it's not easy being in her shoe, and being in the shoe of those around her is not easy too. Such sacrifice... such unspeakable love...
Mum & sis were planning to go there on Saturday morning. I joined them together with Sarah. Grandma is now sick in bed. Due to old age, she finds it difficult to move about and do many things. She seems weak and she lost her balance quite easily too. Mum & her siblings take turns to take care of her - change her, clean her, feed her, etc. Sis drives Mum to grandma's house every weekend. It was a sacrifice of time, energy, money.
On this Mother's Day, i would like to especially dedicate this post to my grandma. May the Lord bless her with better health, and most importantly, joy, peace, love & hope. I pray for an extraordinary strength to come upon her. Take away every discouragements and hurts. May Your guardian angels surround her and Your joy to be made clear in her spirit... in her heart. Bless her O Lord, in Jesus' name i pray - Amen!
For Mum, thank you for all the love you've shown to go the extra mile in taking care of grandma and everyone of us. You made the house a home. Thank you for your sacrifices, beyond words could express. I pray for God's shower of blessings to be poured down and overflow your humble cup. I pray for health to increase and wealth in abundance. I pray for joy & peace & everything else that you deserve. God loves you, Mum & we love you too.
For Sis, thank you for your sacrifices - in giving your time, energy, money - even the little that you have left for yourself, you gave it away. You saw the need and you met the need. For this, God will surely bless you much much more in return. Thank you for everything you've done. God appreciate that and He loves, and so do we!
Happy Mother's Day!
