Mother with her 3 young sons in 1952

Mother and  Mrs Tan.  Mother (on the left) was carrying her youngest son.  Her second son, Tai Kam  is at the back, while her oldest son, Tai Hou is to her left. 

I hope Mother is at peace knowing all her 3 sons had succeeded in their careers. The oldest son graduated as an Electrical Engineer, now retired and living with his family in Melbourne.  The second son, a Chemistry graduate also has a family in Melbourne but at this point in time he is working in Jakarta.  The youngest son is a doctor practising in Kota Bahru.   

When we were young

Our Mothers' unconditional love

I was having lunch with 2 secondary school classmates several days ago.  We were exchanging notes on when our mothers passed away.  Suddenly I said to the girls, "Since my Mother died, I think nobody in this world loves me unconditionally anymore".  They nodded their heads but did not say anything.  There was a silence for quite a while. Probably, like me, my friends were also thinking of thier mothers' unconditional love for them.
