"Then my mom woke me up when my eyes were still heavy to open..."
I always hate Sunday due to my mom, she makes me wake up early in the morning to prepare to go to church. It makes me annoy to prepare during the time that I should be resting...eating breakfast...taking a shower...fixing myself.
"We are going to be late!"
Those words makes me feel even more irritated...Though she isn't pertaining to me but the shouting...it's shaking my brain.
But I realize something while we are on our way to the church. It's nice to spend time with your family. My mom forces me to wake up early during Sunday because it's the only time that she can spend quality and happy time with her sons and daughter...because during the weekdays, I'm at work...my sister goes to school...my brother works in the canteen in the afternoon and my mom in the morning... Yeah! we almost can't see each other during the weekdays.
Then I said, "Mom let's eat somewhere after the mass." "Out again? I don't have money, you can just eat in the canteen." my mom replied.
My mom has always been pickled minded in a good way. When she said the we can't eat out after the mass because she doesn't have money, we would still eat out after the mass...though we don't force her do to that.

It's fun to spend time with my family sometimes. I get to know them better...and I realize by doing so that we have a lot in common than what I know. It's not all about going with friends...who I thought is more similar to me...drinking...dancing in the club...watching movies...eating out. My family knows me better than they are...my mom knows my favorite food, that's why I always want to go home early. My brother know what I don't like...that's why he knows that I would get mad when he borrows my clothes without my permission though he still does that and not let me see him. My sister knows that I love my dog and she's taking good care of it. Yeah! they know me better!

I have fun with my family without trying to impress them. They accept me for who I am. I know that they know me but still make me feel that I'm not different. Maybe you think that I have the perfect family but no...I have a broken family. My dad left us. But still what is left for me makes me even more complete than those family that are complete in other people's eye but incomplete in there own eyes. Actually, I am much happier than when my dad was still here. It's not that I don't like my dad...In fact, I love and respect him...I couldn't stand seeing my mom being depressed whenever seeing my dad's here. Though my dad has been a good teacher, he hadn't been a good husband to my mom. She is now...happier in spite of a lot of problems...not having my dad...working more that 12 hours...I can see in her eyes that she's contented with what's happening now though she still dreams big not for her but for us. I couldn't forget this thing that she said when she was talking about my dad...
"Yes! I'm doing it for my sons and daughter. All I'm doing is for their good and not for us. We couldn't bring these once were dead. We would die before them...that's why they need this more than us..."
"Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love." - Mildred B. Vermont
Yes! I never gave anything precious to my mom...just worldly gifts...But my mom gives us everything....Everything that she has. I could have just given her love but sometimes I failed to give it...I'm blessed because I have her...she might not be the greatest mother there is but surely she has been the best mom I have ever met...
