The “Real” Essence of Chicken Soup


        
        Chicken soup is a random dish in my house. I treated it so normal until I didn't really appreciate it anymore. However, ever since I come back hometown this time, I truly understand the hidden meaning of my mum real essence of organic chicken soup. Part of it is because I had left hometown for more than 4 months, missing home badly when looking at people went back home every weekends, mid-semester breaks, Raya breaks and some public holidays. I always tell them they are so blessed even when their mums scolded them and nagged at them, it shows that mums care for them so much, especially when they can have hot mummy’s home-cooked food. When my feet stepped down the newly renovated Sibu Airport, I knew my mum was waiting outside the immigration hall, and the warm feeling just rushed up to my mind.
               
          The first thing that noticed me was the chicken soup on the table. Mum told me that " Daughter, you must be tired."Mum kept saying that it’s the chicken that she reared for xx months and started her stories again. I looked at her and smiled. I started to appreciate every single moment with her as I really don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Of course, both of us know that how difficult to wait for us to meet again. Mum changed a lot when she started her career as service advisor for a funeral corporation. She treasures and teaches me to spend my day to the fullest. Unnecessary sadness and anger will just waste the happiness of the day. The chicken soup is cooked with her love- the motherly love that can never be substituted.  
              
               Mama, thanks so much. <3
