When I was two, I lost my father.
From that moment on, it was just me and my mom.
My Mom and I is a true story about love, sacrifice, and the bond between a mother and her son.
Through kampung days, school van rides, and rainy afternoons under one umbrella, I learned what it means to be loved-even in the hardest times.
This is not just my childhood.
This is my journey.
Author Notes :
Tomorrow a hope, never a promise.
My mom once said,
"Everyone in your life will have a last day with you and you don't even know when it will be."
Though I hope that she would promise me her tomorrow.

"I promise"
Didn't his mom always tell him to never promise something he cannot hold?
