If you're not planning on overdoing it for your Mom today, overdo it for all the rest of us who would give anything to overdo it for ours

Hey Mummy, remember that Mother's Day I carried a tray of food into your bedroom loudly singing Dean Martin, and you threw a book at me in horror? Or the time you flipped an entire plate of mie goreng onto your head on our last holiday, only to have you say in a sheepish little voice "oh... shit!" Or the time we just sat at that Starbucks in Paragon giggling for hours on end while people around us tried to figure out why? Good times! :)

I love you Mummy. Being silly just isn't the same without you.

To all those companies that insist on sending people like me emails about what I can buy my mum, not cool, stop it. To all the mums out there, lots of hugs for Mother's Day. I hope you spent it with family and friends and had a really good time. By that I mean you had lots of hugs and ate way too much cake to be healthy. If you didn't put on at least a kilo, I'm not impressed!

And to mummy, if somehow you can read this, Happy Mother's Day to you too, I've been thinking of you all day. Remember the time you knocked that giant plate of rice all over yourself in Ubud, then sheepishly looked up and said "heh... uh... shit!" Oh how we both thought that was amusing :). Missing you lots.
