"Looking at her smiling at me" ~ mom-child natural attachment

-
I always want to rush home to my lil ones.. always..always.. When the first bundle of joy (Aliya) arrived, I never thought I would be that obssessed to her. Hate the long journey(mostly the traffic) home from work. was not very kin to having someone else (baby sitters or maids) take care of my little ones. It was always mom and my sisters even my grandma. Yes all my sisters has been nannies to all my children. So thankful for that.


Send me work anywhere, all the kids need to go with me. So dad must come along. If not, one of my sisters would always be available. Yes.. not even a night. It was the trip to Bario that forced me to leave the kids for the first time with their dad. That was not easy. Then the umrah visit, the international conference in the UK & US. Still not easy. And felt so relieved to be home.


Sometimes, my work requires me to be away. If possible. I would make a day trip to places like KB, KT, Alor Star. First flight in the morning to arrive early at the destination and come back later in the evening.


So today, having Aula sitting on my lap was such a joy.
I created this poem just for her..


"Looking at her smiling at me"

~A Poem for Lil Aula ~

She is so beautiful
Holding me tight, my cloudy day turned bright
Not letting me go, take away all my sorrow
She is so charming
Life is so fulfilling seeing her gigling
grinning white teeth, sweet dimples, cheeky and naughty eyes
waving her soft hair, her small fingers, 
worry free nothing else matters
petite lil creature..just perfect picture

The Meaning of Loss Part 1 (my parents my permanent inner strengths)

-
When mom died, that was my greatest loss and most challenging experience I ve ever had. Unexpected and sudden. Not prepared, seemed unreal & unbelievable. The first few years were hard for us. Everyday, I woke up, I wished, what I had, was just a bad dream. Never had I thought, I would lose my mom so soon. Never would I thought I would be motherless at a very young age. much younger for my sisters.. Everything seemed bleak. It was like being a raft and the water took us down the stream. We were so lost that that we followed the stream, balancing the waves in between the journey and dad was the captain who was just experimenting the journey with us behind us. We had to hold him tight as well. The profound meaning of losing someone important in our lives, only we can we define. never knew ot could be so painful. For many years, I went through life as it takes me to many other wonderful journey. Could not remember how many clases and course have I attended to be a b...
