A call of the day

I was browsing through AirAsia web to see if there’s any cheap flight so I can fly again, to anywhere I wish. It remind me that my mother called me the other night. She asked me if I’ve booked ticket for her to come here for a visit at the end of the year as well as coming to my possible graduation convo. I told her that there’s nothing left cheap already, she sigh for a moment… I was like… So blessed. Let me tell some stories here for a moment.
3 years old.
I remember when my elder sister and brother went out to school (Brother was kindergarten, sister was primary one). Her intention was to let me learn how to be independent. Come on, I was just 3, what do you expect me to do? That was afternoon, she went out to bring my brother back home, leaving me a long at home. I ran out to the gate crying for bringing me along 
Imagine the scene, my mother waving her hand asking me to go to her like 10 meters away - My first time know that her hand is the warmest on earth.

I got a wound at my right arm, so I have a long holidays at home 
My mother brought me to Sing Kwok for grocery. I saw a toy with chocolate in there, it was a shark by the way. I asked if I could have it. Well, at that time, our family financial wasn’t good, mom never wanna buy toy for us. That day, she said, ok, take it, we’re going back home now. I was so happy. On the way back, I asked her, why would she bought this to me? She said, it’s your birthday today - My very first birthday present.
15 years old.
I went to work, she encourage me a bit here and there. Ok, it was labour work. I asked for it, because I really do wanna know their statement of “Money is hard to earn”. She did ask me to quit a few time when I complaint about how hard the job is. However, when I get my salary, I gave her a RM50 note. She was so happy that she yelling and jumping like a siao za bor. That continued for a few days by the way - My very first reward.

She called me for a few times, telling me she wanna come to my convo, and due to AirAsia pricing, she wait! She never attend any of my event though. Most of the time I was alone, even when I first step into kindergarten, she just left. All I saw was bunch of mothers outside the windows watching their kids study. That explain why I’m fine to be alone eh? - My very first time knowing that sharing isn’t easy.
Tell me now, how can I not feel blessed because of her sigh…?
