SINGAPORE – In the run-up to Mother’s Day on May 10, I finally read something that has been on my to-read list for a while. The 2021 local book Letter To My Mother: Words Of Love And Perspectives On Growing Up From Sons And Daughters is a collection of 20 essays by contributors sharing their thoughts and feelings about their mothers.
Many of the writers expressed love and admiration for their mothers. They wrote of how their parents inspired and influenced them, and how much their mothers or both parents had given to them. How blessed they were. How grateful.
