Widow
1)Son who did not acknowledge his own mum's presence
This case was very sad. It really hurt any mother whose son who did not even bother to visit and acknowledge her while she was still alive. How could anyone be so forgetful mother's sacrifices throughout the years. I could see my aunt's sad expression when my mum aked whether one of her sons came to visit her. She could be very bitchy too, when one of her son suddenly came to visit her after years until she realised that he was diagnosed with sickness. She told us that, why came to her house to visit her with his disease.Only when he got sickness, then tried to remember who his mother is. Very saddening.
2)Son who did not want to come back home
My cousin, a divorcee, did not wish to come back home but prefer to sleep at east coast park with his bus.He wanted to show his rebellious attitude as my auntie was against his decision to marry a widow with children. I was really pitied his wife. After 10 years being childless couple, they did manage to get a son and that started my cousin's weird behaviour - falling in love with widow. Sometimes, we could never know our heart well.We just followed it blindly without thinking the consequences. At last my auntie conceded defeat and accept the proposal. Which mum would not feel sad when her son did not have proper meal and home.
3>Son who left his mum too fast
This auntie of mine was very strong woman. Both his husband and son passed away so early. My cousin died of lung cancer, leaving his wife and his two young sons.When I looked at his sons, I just could help pitying his wife who was quite young, raising her sons by herself. One of his sons did ask about his father occasionally.I could see my auntie devoted herself loving her grandson more deeply.Two widows in the house.Loneliness.Sadness.Surrender.
Kudos to women who called themselves mother.Well it was not mother's day today but everyday was mother's day for them.Their love for their children were endless and pure.
