The greatest gift - my beautiful kids

-
Dear love,


I am thankful. When some have none, at least I have you
while individuals are measured based on their looks and intelligence
I have to remind myself, don't look for perfections in you
you are just perfect to my dream, alhamdullilah!

Some life sketch simply painted but pleasant
Bringing all the colors.. Between rainbow and the pouring rain
Telling all kinds stories happiness & sadness


Sometimes I get carried away with the joy expected all the way  thru
Overlooking my role to be nurturing for more potential in you

There are time I was not sure what to do
Questioning why things are not going through
Searching for all the mistakes 
Making our relationship at stakes 

I must remind myself
The gifts I received are so exclusive
A privilege.
I need to uphold close to my heart
Accepting you .. just like you
The unfulfilled expectations not in you but my own.


Telling myself, my gifts I must treasure
Like no other pleasure
Irreplaceable. 
For I am conditioned to love

I must thank Allah
I am chosen to be your mom
For I will never know who I am
My own strengths
the 'Me' in you, I must reflect
Life does not have to perfect.


Having you. 
Loving you. 
Too Good to be true.  

 Alhamdulillah.

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...
