Thank you mother

Something my sister told me last night reminded me again of my mother. A few days before she left us she told me that if she were to go, the only person she would be worried about is me. She felt that I am not financially stable, being forced by circumstances to bring up the 3 children by myself.

Yes, I admit it had been very diffiuclt. Looking back,I wonder how I managed. But I want to tell my mother that thanks to her, I had been more fortunate than many other women in the same situation as me. Thanks to my mother I invested in a house which I later sold to finance the children's education. Thanks to her too, I enjoyed the privilege of tertiary education, which had given me some earning power even after retirement. Thank you mother, unknowingly, you had prepared me for the heavy responsibilites I had to shoulder.
