I remember back when my mother is battling for her life, I promised myself to be a better son for her. I'd rather do some work or chores as long as she's alive. I wouldn't want her to get tired from working. Too bad, it didn't even take a year when she passed away. I felt like those promise to myself turned in vain. Even when she's already gone, I still have "what ifs". If my mother is still alive, I may be taking care of her.
Now I can see some people including my cousins who are so protective of their elderly mothers. I can feel their worries because their moms are already at their sunset age. Losing their mom someday is a sad truth, and inescapable. I'm hoping they'll still able to have longer lives though. I know how difficult it is without a mother even I'm already at my 40s.
I also woke up early because it's our weekend meeting in sign language, which was a success. We got home at mid-afternoon, and I had headaches, probably due to the weather we're experiencing.
We had some time off at the beach. Salty and fresh air is so relaxing that it gave me a good night sleep.
