mummy, I love you!

Mum came to my room to sleep last night. We chatted. Nothing in particular, but it was good. My mum and I seldom have time to just chit-chat. We're not distant, but I guess not particularly close either. I'm always not at home and whenever I'm back, she's probably too absorbed in her TV or she's already sleeping. So last night, I felt pretty happy even though the topic was largely about my brother & niece. My second brother just had his daughter, Tricia! Oh ya, I'm now promoted to an auntie! Feel so old suddenly. But it comforts me a little that my younger cousins who are only in primary school & even kindergarten are also uncles and aunties now!!! Hahaha

As my mum went on with how cute she is and how much she looks like my brother, it suddenly dwells on me that my mum has aged. She's already a grandmother. She's already in the stage whereby she should be retiring, staying at home and helping out with the kids. Unfortunately, the three children of hers are unable to provide for her as yet. Same goes for my dad. Currently at the age of 27, I'm still unable to support them. And the fact that I still need to set aside for my BTO and renovation makes me wonder how much longer do they have to work? Sometimes I wished that I didn't go to uni and could have worked in those years and earn more money. But I guess since I cannot turn back time, I'll have to make sure I worked towards the aim of providing for them by the age of 30.
