Its probably not the same for everyone, I find a mother's voice one of the most comforting sounds. Was told before that I share an awesome relationship with my mother and I usually shrug it off. Because I thought its the same for everyone. Dont everyone get along with their mother? Afterall, we live in her for 9 months.

Must say, mom and I didn't always get along. I admit I was a difficult child; spoilt by daddy and grandma and was stubborn as a mule. My mum was just being mother-like; strict and protective and always thinks she is right! (Though, most times in my tweens, she probably were. Dont tell her that).

But it got so much better as I grew older, I take her "criticisms" less personally and she was less uptight about all the mistakes I may make. Today, yes, we still get into fights, she still complains about me to me and gives me the staredown when she disagree with my actions. Nonetheless, we hardly at all bear grudges (i secretly thinks she does though *smiles*).

This evening I called my mummy as I was grocery shopping - asking her what is the ideal soup for a post cataract surgery patient ie. Blacksman. She gave me a couple tips and we hung up the phone. Somehow, that telephone conversation made me smile. It was just a comfort to hear my mom's voice. Its like I know I can rely on her for anything.

Thanks Mum for everything.
