Today is the funeral for my neighbour's Mother. There was a band which played mostly sad songs. One of the songs was in praise of mothers. The song is Chinese, entitled,
"世上只有媽媽好".
The first 2 lines of the song goes like this, "世上只有媽媽好,有媽的孩子像个宝",meaning "the only person who is good to you in this world is mother, a child who has a mother is like a treasure". The song was played many times and each time my tears naturally flowed.
We were all treated and taken care of by our Mother like treasures, something we had never fully appreciated. Sometimes I got annoyed with her for her "nagging" and scolding, when she only wanted the best for us all. This year on August 9 Mother would have left us 16 years, but in my heart she stays forever. Mother, I know " 世上只有媽媽好".
