My mum-in-law, the late Kee Song Ing was born on 16th November 1942 and grew up into a beautiful, sweet girl......
A mother by example, she brought up all her children with loving tender care and discipline as well as her many guidance and good examples which she have imparted to us, children and in-laws. Her endless teachings upon our children, which are her grandchildren have brought all the good qualities upon them – Thank You Mum for everything! It is through all your efforts that our children grew up to be what and who they are today!
It is no denial that we do share some differences, but it is through respect and care that brought our relationship to achieve great heights. I always believe that ‘no two persons with different characteristics, behaviors and thinking can be equally the same!”
Your endless support and tips have prepare me well to be a good and responsible grandmother – you have indeed help me ‘sharpen my skills’ to take care of Brendan, my grandson, who is your great-grandson. It is through you mum, that grand parenting comes much easier for me with everything well prepared.
Today, 29th February, we celebrate your 49th days of passing. Though you left us in person on 12th January 2012, but your spirit will forever dwell in our hearts!
Here’s a flashback of some of her great moments – moments to be cherished and well remembered……

This beautiful poem by Patricia D. Nunn is specially dedicated to my dearest Mum-in-law - 'A beautiful poem for a beautiful mother!'
A mother's love is consistent
and patient, it will never fade.
A mother's love is warm and
compassionate, even in the
shade. A mother's love will
always help you through the
weakest hours. A mother's love
is always like a bouquet of
flowers. A mother's love is
strong and will never steer
you wrong. A true mother's
love is beautiful in many ways.
A mother's love is sincere
and it takes a mother's love to
conquer our fears. A true mother's
love knows the depth of love.
A true mother's love is contentment,
just like God's love. My mother's
love is absolutely all of the above.
