A Parent's Love

I just watched the movie "Money Not Enough 2" by Jack Neo today. Even though I was told that it was a heart-wrenching movie, I was surprised at the impact which the movie actually had on me.
In the scenes which shows the mother's love for the 3 brothers, and also the scenes which she was misunderstood and mistreated, I did not just teared, I wept. I think that if I'm watching it alone, I might have even wailed. I couldn't understand, how can one person have such deep love for those who treat her so badly till the point they were willing to sacrifice her for someone else? They treated her as a burden and a nusiance, yet she still gave all she had. Her time, money, dignity, love etc. I really cannot even begin to feel such emotional torture if it even happens in real life.
I love my mum and there are times which I made her angry, disappointed, sad at me. Sometimes, in anger she said things that really stunned me. I pray that she'll stay healthy, as I cannot imagine me living a life without her. Times when I need to change, times to say sorry, times to just love her, these are times which I cherish. These are times which I will never forget. Even if I forget everything that happens in the movie, I'll never forget how the mother in the movie looks behind her son when they didn't realise that she can hear them. That look of extreme disappointment will always bring tears in my eyes. I'll never forget it, and never want to see it on my mother's face.
