25 Things I Like About You – A Mother’s Day Dedication

Filed under: Family, Mum — by Alliraph @ 5:06 pm

I’ve got inspired by a friend of mine that wrote such thing to his loved one. I am really touched by his writing though I ain’t the one. And today, I would like to “copy” his way to express my feelings to the most important person in my life…

1. I like it when I miss you suddenly and think of talking to you, often I receive your call in that night; as if you can sense my feelings and call me in time.

2. I like it when we are watching TV in afternoon, I always wait for your tea time to reach, so that I can have a little bite of your snacks, while I am on my diet.

3. I like it when it’s late for shower, you nag me for times until I enter the bathroom, though I am clear that bathing in late night isn’t good for health.

4. I like it when I buy you some new foods to try out, you enjoy them very much; it proves that we’ve got the same taste in food.

5. I like it when you make some funny mistakes in front of me, yet you pretend to be cool before the both of us burst into laughter the very next moment.

6. I like it when you expertly iron my clothes neatly and wrinkle off, giving the feelings that I am wearing a brand new clothes.

7. I like it when there are people praising me and Bro for our achievements, you are always humble, though I can see through your eyes that you are really pleased with the compliments.

8. I like it whenever I am going back there, I will spend a day here in the shopping mall buying some goods for you; imagining how much you would enjoy them.

9. I like it when we go out together, I will hold your hand tightly and walk with you, it makes me proud of being a daughter.

10. I like it when there are critiques and accusations about me, you defend me in the first place, your trust gives me strength and confidence to stand up.

11. I like it when I am preparing food for you, I always feel like I am a great chef even though it’s just a simple sandwich.

12. I like it when I have to wake up early in the morning, I will leave a small note under the house phone, the next morning I’ll be awakened by your soft voice sharp on time, I can never find a better alarm clock than you.

13. I like it when we are eating some fruits, you will give me half of yours and I will give mine half+little extra to you; as the old Chinese saying goes, “Love bonds tighter by sharing” (一人一半,感情不散).

14. I like it when I get very tensed up during the exam period, I will give you a call to ask for your forgiveness if I happened to do bad in the papers, though you never mind about my result, I always feel much relieved with you saying ” Don’t push yourself so hard, just try your best.”

15. I like it when I am back for holidays, you always have collected stacks of my favourite supplement for me to read since the last time I left home, though sometimes I feel really lazy to touch them.

16. I like it when I am going to collect the rent arrears from the stupid tenant, we will make a small bet on whether he would pay or not, and loser would treat the winner; I always expect a NO from him, but I wish I can be the one who treats.

17. I like it when I succeed in making you laugh hard with my silly jokes, it makes me feel like I have a good sense of humour.

18. I like it when I have my life screwed up, I will usually skype with you for at least 30 mins to make bunch of complaints; a little response from you would make you the best listener for me.

19. I like it when I’m done with my morning jog, I always wait for you to finish your tasks, so that we can have our breakfast together.

20. I like it when we are reading the daily together, you always rush to read mine though I am reading it half-way, for you say you can read faster than me, by actually skimming through the titles mostly.

21. I like it when I manage to persuade you to enter the small supermarkets in NT, you are excited with the new stuffs you see, and immediately become a “shopaholic” but only digs her pocket money to buy those goods for her children.

22. I like it when you read those inspirational and motivational books I bought for you; I really hope they would refresh your soul and encourage you to move forward with a smile even on the tough path.

23. I like it when I told you about the admirers I’ve met over here, your first reaction was “That’s unbelievable you’ve got such attraction…”, in fact you are the most interested to know the processes.

24. I like it when I post you a parcel for the mother’s day gift, your first thought is that’s from me, coz you know how much I love and care about you.

25. Lastly, I just like who you are and everything you do to me coz it’s forever for my own good. I truly thank God for bonding you and me, It might seem exaggerated to write all these but they are my true feelings. Sorry that I can’t be with you on this special day but I wish to tell you how much you mean to me through my words. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY, love you always.

I wanted to write a chinese version so that my mum can understand it well, but I am short of time to do so, perhaps after my final exams, I will repost a chinese version. Now I gotta count on my brother to be the translator (you better do the job carefully), thanks to him too. :)
