today is ¨mother's day¨ in Indonesia. it is celebrated every 22nd of december since 1938 when Indonesian Women's Congress came up with the idea and later on 1945 this was confirmed by the first Indonesian president, Sukarno.
when my grandfather and my grandmother were still with us, we always celebrated mother's day in their house. all family member were gathering to celebrate this day in a special way. all children crowned their own mothers. for example; in a picture below, my mother were sitting in the middle while my little sister and me crowned her. then each one of us did a speech. we said sorry for things that we had done wrong to her, we thank her for everything and most of all we said how much we love her. even if you're not a family member but you were with us in this celebration, you would burst into tears. for me it was always such a precious moment.
ps: mama, i miss you...
