Dear Mom

Dear Mom,

I'm your eldest son, with many strengths and weaknesses. Though I know you view most of them as weaknesses. I don't mind, because the more weakness I have, the more strength I got. Strength always come from my weakness, I truly know that. I just hope that you don't mind to have a child with no strength in your eyes.

Dear Mom,

I know you're super busy. You're concerned with our well-being. You worked so hard from the moment Daddy passed away until now, only to see your good-for-nothing sons wasting your money here and there. However, I assure you, we also have hearts. We can think, and we can do everything in our abilities not to waste too much money. I fact, we even have thought of many ways to make you proud. You just have to watch, that is, if you're willing to watch us falling and falling again in our way to success.

Dear Mom,

Do you know that the reason I live till this moment is because of you? I love you and respect you so much. Even maybe after I get married, I'll still view you as the greatest woman in my life. I just need recognitions from you. I know, everything I've done is nothing in your eyes, but they won't be in vain. I learn to get up every time I fail, and you've always been the trigger in everything I do. I don't care if you don't like the way I do things, I just want you to know that I do all of this for you only, and for my future.

Dear Mom,

I wonder if you can just leave work for a whole day. I know you're busy, very very busy. However, if we can summon a genie to grant our wish, I wish you can just leave your work for one single day. Do you know that we, your sons, always wanna spend more time with you? Without being disturbed by work, without being concerned by the threats ahead. Just a quality time together. To tell you the truth, I'm willing to kill myself just to give you a free day, so you can spend more time with the family, together, without worries, just fun. However, I know, things never work that way.

Dear Mom,

I wonder, when you got a chance to read this, will you get angry with me? Will you beat my brothers up just because they confide to me about how you treat them and me? Will you deem me as an unworthy, good-for-nothing son? It's fine, I don't mind. I've lived my 21 years of life being looked down and mistreated by some people, so it's okay. You just need to know that this comes sincerely from what I feel about our family, especially you. And another thing, you have to know that I shed a tear when I finished this passage. Just because I love you, very much.

Sincerely,


Your eldest son
