Happy Birthday Mum



Happy mother's day, 12th August every year is mother's day in Thailand. it is queen's birthday :)
normally mother will receive white flower (jasmine flower) from her son and daughter. people will go to temple together with family to make merit and bring mum to treat dinner. I saw many many families went to restaurant with their mum and you can see every food store is full tonight. long long times ago, my former primary school will organized mother's day for us, school will invite our mum to school and we make jasmine flower like garland. we always sing mother's song together with other friends before give flower to our mum. I love this ceremony and I think very important for us. even though this is not Akha traditional ceremony, but we are happy to show our respect to our mum as others. I was very shy when I was young to give flower or show respect to her by action.
I came out from home almost 12 years, I found that every mother's day I miss her so much and of course not only mother's day that I miss her, but every mother's day you will see other families together and that make me miss my mummy more.
this year I asked my brother help us cook mum's favorite food for dinner :).
ahma, I miss you :(

Happy mother's day everyone ! I wish you have very good and warm family forever.. always treat your love ones as much as you can before you don't have that chance. mum always stand by you...
