Happy Birthday to remember

Su Mor Kong shared something inwhich she heard from monkey #2 about "Happy Birthday". Actually Su Mor Kong knew about it but somehow could not recall until now ...

Children are so happy went it came to celebrate birthdays !! They loved the cekes, tidbits, soft drinks, ice-creams, balloons, new clothings to wear, lot of gifts, and friends coming over to share these happy occassion.

The parents, mostly mothers, will busy themselves cleaning the house, cooking, buying party accessories, buying cakes ... hmmm .... I know how my Su Mor Kong had "worked" very hard searching for a cake, U Mer Mer was with her and can testified .... not easy lar.

Really must appreciate her effort and initiative !!!

Back to the story ....

We forgotten the battle that a mother had to go through in order to deliver us. The pain, agony and life-threatening moment at the hospital delivery room.

In modern days, we presume that giving birth is so easy, as easy as buying a burger from fast food restaurant ... "puuuttt - and here is your burger".

When Su Mor Kong shared this with me, it impacts me alot. What my mother or what every mother had gone through.

So, don't demand what your mother should do for you on your birthday but what & how would we show our appreciation and love for their sacrifices.
