Memories

of being lost on both sides, 

of her undying love and strength as she stayed closely with me through this difficult journey on the train ride of going back and forth to the only special school that was far away from home, 

and of her patience and perseverance in trying all her ways to help me vocalize as she refused to believe the news that there was no hope for me to utter a word. This is the first time I expressed a few of my memories into illustration. I admit it was a little awkward in baring them as they are pretty personal and how each image often pulls in a string of other memories - good and bad. Nonetheless, I would like my dear Mum to have them so as to remind her how she is such a strong woman and an inspiration in my life. 

It coincided nicely with Happy Mother's Day and I decided to make another one of a rose in paper cut. Off they went, traveling over 14 hours of flight to reach my Mum! Mother's Day this year without a hug for Mum for the first time felt so out of place. Soon, there will be a plenty of hugs when I get home. =]
