After much pondering, I decided to stop over thinking and just start doing, picking up the pieces and step out again. Not to say I have not been taking many first steps, but to get myself on electronic blueprint again just wasn't really something I would readily jump at, at the least, I do not have time like I used to.
So I chose Thanksgiving Day as D day to start because really over the past 2 years of promoting to Motherhood, there has been much to be thankful for. In fact, life has given us much to be thankful for.
Firstly, we are thankful that God answered our prayer and sent us to the States, throwing me totally out of my comfort zone and forced me into a life I never dreamt of having, but never did regret having. Yes, the adventure never really ended when we returned in Oct 2011. Along the way, much surprises came along.
Firstly, I would like to thank all that make this journey a little easier.
To my mum, this at the expense of her own life being endangered by my very birth.
To my dad, for always being that listening ear, that encourager, giving me ample reminder to face life squarely and never give up or give in when things get tough. It is also through him that I come to learn that one's environment is not the only factor that shape one's life, he grew up in a Casino, he never gamble.
To my husband, who in his very well intended way, clumsily put his boys' lives in danger when they were still in my tummy. First by driving off when one of my leg was still in the car, causing me massive bleeding and thought of miscarriage in our 1st trimester. Then in attempting to make sure that I did not get stretch mark, while adjusting himself to a more comfortable position, unconsciously leaned his entire weight on me with his hands on my tummy at the boys' 5 month, pushing the babies to one size, rushing us back to the gynae the next morning, to ensure the boys were not hurt. Our gynae just couldn't help laughing, though knowing we are worried. And of all the support as a new dad, he has given to me and the family.
To my father in law, for all the ferrying the boys, myself to and fro KKH.
To my mother in law, for also doing her part in helping us look after the boys.
To my uncles and aunties, for all their help in fetching Yiyi to school and babysitting on weekends when we were burnt out from the boys hospital stay.
To Nellie who forced her way into our lives to learn how to care for the boys so she can throw us out of the house and support when we need babysitting help at home or in church.
To all our friends or acquaintances for your lovely comments from time to time giving us the strength to carry on.
To God - For littering our lives with so much adventure.
So stay tuned... I promise to be as candid as I can.
