the long road home.

i promised my mom for shopping spree trip, but she called early in the morning saying that she really wanna rest at home and insisted, "jangan balik ye hari ni"...

so i bake a kiwi cake instead.

my mom loves fruit cake so much. but then while stirring d mixture, i realised the mixed fruit is no longer in the cabinet. searching high n low but it juz vanished (harap2 my mom percayala) so i chopped dried kiwi and walla.. the kiwi cake!!

the oven-cap-ayam took full 1 hour to bake.

so i pick an old book by danielle steele to kill time and stop me from peek d oven door all the time. x sabar..

i'm glad i did, eventhough i wept most of the time.

the most touching part is when Gabriella's (the main character) parents deserted her since she was small. Her father ran away and her mom dumped her at the church at the age of 10.

she clung to her mom, refused to be left alone but all her mom said was "Good bye Gabriella". can u imagine?

when she old enuf to find them, her father declined to accept her because he had other family to take care of, dismissed her romantic notion that all this time he didnt know where she was thats why he never contacted her.

and her mother, after remarried never care to keep in touch. she was still in the convent though..

eventhough it just a fiction, but i have met three kids with similar encounter. why parents abandon their kids is beyond me. i tot blood is thicker than water..

oh grateful i m to grow up in a loving family. i m grateful that even until now my mom still take a good care of me n my siblings. i m grateful that eventhough our life was diff in the past my mom n dad never thinking who left us behind.

Terima kasih mak.. Selamat Hari Ibu
