My Mother

My mother was born in Karawang, November 8^th 1952, but she grew up in Purwakarta. Her name is Renny Syafrini. Her parents had six daughters, my mother is the fifth. Her father was a civil servant. His name’s Raden Husein Singawinata. The name Singawinata is still very popular in Purwakarta until now. My mother grew up in a wealthy and well known family, but that didn’t make her spoiled. She did her duty by herself, like made her bed, swept the floor, and watered the plants. Her father passed away when she was on the fifth grade, and her mother passed away when she was in junior high school. So, I never met my grandparents, I can only see their pictures.
