thank you.

for constantly-

putting me down,
doubting i passed NAPFA,
gibing that i wont do well for exams,
badgering that you wont send me overseas even if you had the money to,
laughing when ive fallen,
annoying babe even when she was sick,
not wishing to help dad out financially,
laying your insults on us,
on dad.

because youve made me stronger, us, stronger.

but sometimes we too are a house of people merely with breakable feelings. tenacity can be diminished, determination can be bent- they have. and in dad's eyes, i see the occasional flicker of submission, hurt- especially during chinesenewyears.

but we'd pull through.

so thankyou

mom.
