Remembering the Past to pave the way for the Future.

a picture of my late Mum, me (being carried) and my brother

   Its been 5 years since the passing of our late mother. She is our source of inspiration to continue with the challenges in life. 

   She was diagnosed with cancer, won the battle but 10 years after she had a relapse and that was the start of her health spiraling downwards.

   Before she was sick, Our mother was a great cook or should i say a superb "chef". Its because she could whip up a great dish with ease. Her signature dish was Chicken Pie, Epok2 Sayur, Koleh2 Kacang and many more. A lot of people knows her talents in cooking. I know it first hand as I was the one to have always helped her in the kitchen. I would always complaint to her for accepting so many orders. But now i regret for not learning from her all her recipes, her tips and tricks in the kitchen.

   In our early stages in life we had not much luxuries but she help our father by taking orders from people who had special events. She would cook with love and that showed from the response she had from her customers. She proved to those who look down on our family, she fought her cancer and lived her live to the fullest and even managed to go Umrah. And she has never loved me and my brother any less come what may.

   Being a parent myself, i now realized the lessons she taught us. Lessons that that was not taught verbally but taught through actions. That is to always love your family and never give up hope when there seems to be no hope at all. To leave everything to Allah swt cause our life, our death, our sustenance, our health is all in His hands. But we can only strive to be the best that we can be.

   To our late mother, you will always be in our hearts. To us, be it 10 years, 20 years or even 30 years it seems that you had just left this world yesterday. Know that your sons will be the best son, father and person that you have molded us to be.
