Well, as you all know, it was Mothers day on Sunday. We don't usually make something big of it (my husband think it is a moneymaking scheme - I think most of the readers experience the same), and my daughters try their best to spoil their mom.
For the first time in years, my husband remembered that it is mothers day. I could not believe it, but did appreciate it. My middle daughter brought me flowers. I said to my youngest, who gave me a big hug and kiss at 2.00 Sunday morning (she works and she only got home at 1.45) that I do not want a gift. My eldest gave me a voucher of R500. How privilege I am?
My youngest thanked me after church for giving birth to her and raising her the way I did. As she said: "I would not have been the person that I am without you raising me the way you did". That was the biggest gift anybody can get. It is worth more than all the money in the world. When I spoke to my mom, she said more or less the same to my mom. She said": "Thank you for giving birth to my mom and raising her the way you did. If it was not for that, I would not have been there and my mom would not have raised me the way she did".
Hearing words like this is an emotional experience. You feel so small, so grateful and at the same time very happy if you hear words like that. I cannot thank God enough for the three children that I have.
Last night we laugh and made jokes with each other. My youngest said that one of the students made a remark about our family. She said that she haven't met a family like ours. We can joke, laugh and even fight if needed, but we stay close to each other. My eldest daughter's husband and my middle daughter's boyfriend made the same remark years ago.
We are a very close family. We stand together, cry together, love and fight together. Nobody have a chance of coming between us - the bond between us is too strong. You cannot buy this. Not with money or anything in the world.
