This is an emo blog.
The joys of motherhood (okay, I know that it sounds unbelievable with all the challenges mentioned earlier) made me forget that Hannah does not belong to me (and Yang too). I was rudely awaken to this fact just recently when I read another mother’s blog.
I feel sad to think that she would have to leave us one day. But it is good to keep in mind of this fact and be thankful to God that He has given Hannah as a gift.
And what an extraordinary gift. If I use it well, there would be growth in grace, patience, humility, perseverance, integrity, wisdom, understanding and love (unconditional & long-suffering). A source of joy and hope, she is a gift to be enjoyed as well. At the moment, her ‘ga-ga’ smiles make my day. Hannah is also a mirror that makes me see myself more clearly and I pray that will cause me to improve for the better.
So as our bond deepens with each passing day, I must remember to trust God and let go when the time comes.
‘Letting go’ doesn’t only happen when the time comes. It happens as she grows too.
I wanted to use ‘times’ but thought it sounds nicer to leave it as ‘time’.
Although I am not a Mummy, I have come to learn that it is an essential art for parents to acquire. For the benefit of both the parents, and the child. Have fun, Musetay. It is such great adventure! tc.
