Homecooked dinner

Today, i came back from work earlier as I was feeling not well.

Saw my mum preparing dinner...
For a moment, this thought came across my mind again.

My mum is 52 years old now.
She has been working non-stop for the last 27 years.
She gave my sister and myself the best care and love that she could by making sure that we have our dinner, shelter, and family warmth.

Trust me, the best thing to happen when you come back from a tiring day of work is homecooked dinner (I love my mum's soup especially!)
My mum will try her best to prepare dinner for the family, no matter how tired she is.
And she can cook really fast. 1 soup and 2 dishes can be whipped up within an hour! (something that the lousy me can probably never achieve)

The point that I want to bring across is my mum is getting older by the years.
I should let her lead a more carefree life, without the need to rush for us to cook when she is back from her part-time job. I feel really bad, and can feel the 'guilt' (feel so unfilial)

Sometimes, I will tell her not to prepare dinner, and I will just buy back dinner.
But I truly hope that maybe my sis and i could help her with the cooking one day (my sis's cooking skills is certainly better than me. I can be quite hopeless in cooking).
And of course perhaps to engage a maid one day to help us out.

Occasionally, my mum can drive me up the wall by her nags and her conservative mindset.
But she is the best Mum.

Thank you, Mum!
