Born 1919; Died 2010
To everyone of us, mom is the best.
In my case, mom is better than best; she is extraordinary.
Over the past few days, some of my childhood friends came to mom's wake. All of them remember my mom very fondly and had nothing but good things to say about her. I cannot but agree with them fully.
As the youngest in the family, I spent much time with my mom - going to the market, preparing the daily meals in the kitchen and talking. We talked about many things and shared many thoughts. Mom was my best teacher.
She taught me to be a good son and a good brother. But she also taught me that to be a good son and brother was not enough. She constantly reminded me to strive to be a good person. Mom taught me well and I am what I am today because of her love and guidance.
Some of you may remember mom as a ravishing beauty. But more than just external beauty, mom possesses great inner beauty. Think of all the superlatives in the dictionary, put them together and you get the perfect description of mom. To me, mom is the embodiment of everything that is good and beautiful.
Most of you already know that I love my mom dearly. The truth is, I adore her.
When I was ready for marriage, my idea of an ideal wife was someone who is like mom - someone who has all the qualities that mom possesses. And I am indeed thankful to God that He has blessed me so richly with a beautiful mother and an equally beautiful wife.
