While we're buried under the heavy load of wedding preps, somehow we did not realise how we've neglected our parents. I do feel bad for neglecting my mum somehow. Although we tried our best to involve them in our preps, but many things we still prefer to make our own decisions.
This thought just came to my mind while reading some other people's wedding blog..."From a mama bird view"
"Seems like yesterday you were still my baby. I can still remember how i feel when I know you exist. I hurried about finding the softest leaves and sturdiest branches to build the new nest for you. I wouldn't want you to be hurt by portruding branches. I soon found myself counting down the days, eagerly expecting your arrival. The day you were born.
It wasn't unexpected but neither was I well prepared for it. That's how you're like...always giving me surprises. But I love you all the same. I tried my best to give you the best of everything I could...I feel bad for not being able to give you the best sometimes...seeing your disappointed look makes my heart wanna cry. You got into trouble sometimes as you're growing up...I had to scold you for it even though I don't want to. In my mind, this is how I protect you from the harsh world outside. Never for once did I stop worrying how you'll be if I should leave you one day...
Without me realising...your feathers have grown...it has grown to be prettier than mine. I taught you how to flip your wings and fly...you were scared at first...you ask me, "mommy, how is the world outside like.?" I smiled.
You tried once, twice, thrice.....then you were able to fly! You flipped your beautiful wings and soar into the blue sky. I am too weak by now to fly that high....so I stayed on to watch you. You flew further and further away...till I couldn't see you anymore. I realised then, my baby is gonna leave me someday. You'll build your own nest with someone you love....you'll be happy.
The day finally came...I am aware of your new home...you told me bits and pieces of the someone you love....you begin to ask less about me. As expected...you said, mummy...i am leaving this place soon...but I still love you. Take care mummy. At that, you soared into the sky again and disappeared.
I'll forever miss you, my baby.
Hehe...this is written by me....dedicated to my mummy who loves me so much...even though I'll be married soon...I will surely miss her a lot..just as much as she misses me.
