picture from tulipworldAs I entered the living room, there it was on the coffee table a bouquet of red tulips nicely arranged in a vase and in front of it, a handmade card. She has been performing this ritual over the last three years without fail. Once it was a bouquet of pink roses and another was a stem of red rose.
Over the weekend I was given a VIP treatment which meant I could do as I pleased and she would just tag along. On Saturday, off we went to do some damage on the card, followed by coffee at our favourite place and squeezed some time for an ice cream session in between our stops. It was a quiet affair on Sunday where we had lunch at a cosy place chosen by her nearby, the first for us. The place is definitely a hit for us as the atmosphere was groovy and the food was simply delicious. When our meal came, Mini B was practically in silence, enjoying every bit on her plate.
We spent our nights over the weekend early in bed with a good book. Occasionally she’d come closer to sniff my hair and when her eyes got too tired, she fell asleep while resting her head close to me as I was still enjoying my book.
It seems her favourite tune these days is Love Story by Taylor Swift and she keeps humming the song. I suppose the title fits this posting instead of stating the obvious. Mother’s day was definitely lovely this year as it was in the past, but perhaps it gets more creative and has more sense of personal touch, reflecting her personality. With her selection of flowers, her words in the card and things to do, I could see how much maturity she has gained and how she pulled her thoughts together to make the day special.
So thank you my love for the story so far...
Happy mother’s day to D, Kak Teh, Momster, Simah, Ruby, n.i., Naz and Touch Cookie. Here’s to being a yummy mummy. Oh by the way, it is Kak Teh’s birthday tomorrow. Kak Teh, if you are reading this, Happy Birthday! May you have more romantic days with AG.
Ps: this post is dedicated to a dear friend who reads silently (and sms without fail when my post entertains her). Look forward to more sunshine. After all, it is already spring.
