wahaza extra

It was hard for me to think of someday I’ve to let go my mum from my side.

It could happen anytime. Nothing will stay forever…

Most of us excited to celebrate Mother’s Day by giving flowers, cooking dinner or anything sweet for their love one.

To tell the truth, I don’t know how to celebrate a day like this. In my family we never celebrate any kind of days. Even birthday.

Kind of sad do you think?

It is not our tradition. Not for my mum. We were raised from a poor family and very kampung style. There’s no need for special days like today.

She always said to me, everyday is like other day. If you want to remember someone, don’t think about that person only on just one particular day. You’ve to remember them every hour, minutes or seconds of your life. Your mother is not to be celebrate on one single day of each year. Do it everyday. If you can’t, do it every week or at least every month.

She will be so angry with me if I call her just on this one day occasion. She said why on this specific day you only want to do a good deed to your mum? Why not any other day for the rest of the year.

I can imagine her face every time I call her on any days of the week. Smile.

Money can’t buy love out of your mum. Not my mum.

This song, wrote by Nasation from Nahwan Nur nasyid group, I think 14 years ago at surau KK2, UPM. I was sitting next to him and Sopian Alias to improved the lyrics. The original lyrics had to be change because someone has written a remarks on the board saying the only face glows like a moonlight would be the Prophet.

Thanks to him for giving this beautiful lyrics and melodies. (If you read this entry, I still have the original hand writing of the original lyrics in my possession as a memento.)

Listening to it would always bring a tears drop on my cheek in similar way the day the lyrics was born.

… and it still make me wonder what would be my reaction a day when I would loose her forever.

Happy Mother’s Day, mum.
