"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY"
Hari ini ada e-mel daripada Sdr. Jumadi Rahmat (jiran & sama-sama aktif dalam aktiviti kemasyarakatan setempat) yang boleh dikongsi & barangkali ada kaitan dengan sambutan Hari Ibu. Berikut ialah e-mel tersebut (with a little editing):
One evening after a long, hard day at work, mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of Dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed.
All dad did was reach for his biscuit, smiled at mom and asked me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and ate every bite.
When I got up from the table, I remembered hearing mom apologized to dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said, "Honey, I love burned biscuits."
Later that night, I went to kiss Dad good night and asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He hugged me and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"
"You know, life is full of imperfect things ... and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else."
"What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others' faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Because in the end, you are the master of your own life, to be happy or unhappy, to be positive or negative."
"We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship , be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."

Catatan:
1. Initiated by Pak Ndak Cet (the 3rd. son of Cikgu Mat Pedu) we managed to have a very simple Mother's Day celebration at home.
2. Terima kasih Sdr. Jumadi kerana mengirim cerita di atas.
