God Bless My Mother

This morning I've got a Tweet from social activist Fahira Fahmi Idris who reminded me and several others that today is Mother's Day, and asked us what are our very best memory with our mothers.

I Tweeted back and say that there are lots of very best memories that I have with my mother, most of which occurred until I reached the age of 22.

Yeah, there are uncountable very good memories that I have with her, starting from the time my mother gave birth to me in New Delhi, when my father was assigned to the Indonesian Embassy there.

And every time our family moved to other countries, my mother always guided me in adopting with different schools, cultures, languages, etc.

When I entered the university to study Law, my mother helped me learned Dutch which she spoke quite well.

Beside that, my mother has always been a great cook, always love and tried to satisfy her family in every way, almost never show anger.

Now, my beloved mother is 80 years old, thank God she is still physically quite strong and healthy, and it is my turn to serve and guide her and my father the way that they have always loved and cared for me, so that they will always be happy and healthy.

In this connection, I would like to wish every mothers around the world, especially in Indonesia, a Happy Mother's Day!
