Reference:
An Indonesian proverb says, “Kasih anak sepanjang buluh, kasih orangtua sepanjang jalan.” The author translated it as “A child’s love is as long as the rod, a parent’s love is as long as the road” in English. (Apologies for the clumsy attempt.)

 

Notes: Dedicated to mothers everywhere who are dedicated to their children – including the author’s own mother, sometimes to her chagrin. Here the author would also beg the readers to help with the name of the flower featured in the story.
