Secret #11

I don’t want to leave Kuching. I don’t want to leave my friends and most importantly, I don’t want to leave my mum. I feel really bad whenever she splurges on me when I come back because she’s happy that I am back. She’s cooking lunch for me tomorrow. All the dishes that I want. She knows that I don’t eat good food in KL. At least not the food that I want to eat.

She’s been a single parent for 7 years and she’s so strong. She wants me to quit smoking but I just can’t. She’s done so much for me and I can’t even do her this little favour. But I am trying. Been cutting down a lot lately. 7 sticks or less a day, compared to the 20 sticks a day in KL.

Honestly, I don’t know what I have ever done to deserve her as my mother. I hope, that I’ve been a good enough daughter to her.
