I never really knew my mother when I was a child. My parents were divorced since I was three and I was taken away from my mother by my father, whose mother forbade my mom to see me. As I was growing up, I sparsely met her to the point that I remembered vividly for not knowing who she was when I got to meet her again.I was seven years old at that time. And I could still remember that, at that time, I was just started to learn and getting to understand about what the concept of a mother is. However,at that time, the heart and the mind weren't in sync. I was so emotionally disconnected from my mother that I felt like my mom was a stranger to me even as I could also felt her yearning towards me. Soon after, I was sent abroad to live for many years and I only got to come back once in a blue moon and get to meet her.
After many years, I finally came back again as an adult. This time, it was better since I could get to meet her more often than when I was growing up. However, I suppose, the relationship was different compared to those who had the fortune to have grown up with their mothers. We were amicable but the distant existed.
This passed 31st October was my mother's first year anniversary of her passing. Sometimes I do wonder how it was like if I had the fortune to have had grown up with her, to be loved and be nurtured by her. As I was watching this video, I felt thankful that there are children who are lucky enough to be able to be raised by their own mothers - to be loved, to be nurtured, to be cared for. And it is also my hope that these children, having had received so much love and supports, will become great and benevolent that in turn will make the world to be better as well.
