I really don't know where to start from in this appreciation and celebration of this awesome woman. She has been a rock and support all through my formative years, and even today that she turns 61, she's still doing the most to be actively involved.
There's something special and consistent about mums from every part of the world; they are the epitome of love. The love she shows is unquestionable, unrelenting, and unconditional. I remember when my mum said that her only regret is that she doesn't have 8 extra lives, because she'll give one each for all her children. That was one of the most profound and emotional things anybody has ever said to me and it stuck with me for a long time.
My mum turns 61 today, and she's still as healthy and beautiful as ever. I feel honoured to be affiliated to this amazing woman, and from what I hear, I got my smile from her, what do you think?

I feel blessed to have a mum like her and I just want to use this medium to wish her a happy 61st birthday. I called her a while ago to sing for her, and she was loving it. Yeah, I may sound like a tough guy sometimes, but deep down, I have a soft underbelly and will get all emotional for people I love. Here's one more picture of her dressed in our traditional attire, looking elegant as ever. It sucks that I can't be back home celebrating with her but alas, life happens.
Thank you for reading and yes, please send your birthday wishes.
