I was searching for some personal documents in the storeroom at home, when I found two letters received from my younger son, Awan. The letters were sent when he started his military boarding school a year ago.
Assalammualaikum ibu,
Tujuan adik tulis surat ini sebab nak luahkan perasaan adik sebelum nak duduki peperiksaan pertengahan tahun dua minggu lagi. Sebenarnya, adik sukar untuk menyatakan betapa sayangnya adik kat ibu depan-depan. Adik tak tahu kenapa, tapi dari kecil adik macam tu, Walaupun begitu, adik cukup sayang kat ibu. Adik banyak melawan cakap ibu, asyik terlupa benda penting, hilang benda penting. Adik nak sangat memohon maaf kat ibu depan-depan, tapi adik terlalu malu nak minta maaf kat ibu. Dan adik minta maaf jika adik tak minta maaf selepas buat ibu marah. Ibu tolong doakan adik berjaya dapat keputusan cemerlang iaitu "Straight A+" dalam peperiksaan yang terdekat dan dalam setiap peperiksaan yang adik duduki. Kepada abang pula, adik nak minta maaf jika adik ada melawan cakap abang, tak dengar cakap abang, buat abang marah.
Akhir kata, adik ingin memohon ampun kepada ibu dan abang atas segala silap dan salah yang adik buat. Dan boleh tak ibu cari buku rujukan SPM abang atau nota abang yang lama dan tolong hantar kat sini. Selamat Hari Ibu.
Dengan kasih,
AZWAN
And this is the poem that he dedicated to me,
IBU...........
She used to be my only enemy and never let me free,Catching me in places that I know I shouldn't be,
Every other day I cross the line, I didn't mean to be so bad,
I never thought you would become the friend I never had...
Back then I didn't know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All that you did was love...
Ibu...I love you, Ibu... I care,
Ibu... I love you, Ibu... my friend
You are my friend
I didn't want to hear it then,
But I'm not ashamed to say it now,
Every little thing you say and did was right for me,
I had a lot of time to think about,
About the way I used to be,
Never had a sense of more responsibility...
But now I sure I know why,
Why you were misunderstood,
So now I see through your eyes,
All I can give you is love......
From your mischieveous,
