Hi,
Today is the August 12th, Mother Day in Thailand (The Thailand's Queen's Birthday.) May all mothers know that we appreciate them.
I consider myself lucky to be able to celebrate 2 mother days each year when my Mother-in-law was alive. The last year before she passed, I told her that I appreciated her having the son (the only son) who became my Hubby.
My mother is 85 years old this year, problem with many things, especially joints pain but her mind is still quite sharp. My father ( a patrol policeman) got killed when I was turning 17 and still in HS. She struggled with the banana farm to make sure that I could continued to college despite what her relatives and neighbors told her. (In my time (I am 61 years old), the Thais did not believe in girls going to schools higher than the 10th grade, too smart, would never marry a good man!). Now when I hear the relatives and neighbors told me how lucky I am, I think of my mother!!!
This painting of Monkey's Mother and Baby is done in oil, sticker spray and eye-ball sticker, thanks to all who have created the brushes and stickers. Any comments and advice are appreciated.
My friends, may your mothers have good health!!
