Horseback riding in Johor (Nov 2008)
Last weekend, en route to Kemaman, Terengganu, OnlyGirl was commenting on how babies and children somehow seem to gravitate towards me and like me a lot.
“Really?” I said. “Why do you think children like me?”
She replied, “Because you are kind. And caring.”
I smiled. “But I am strict. And garang (fierce).”
“But you are kind. And caring,” she insisted.
“And funny,” she added, smiling that special smile of hers.
I smiled back and hugged her, tears clouding my eyes. Juggling a career and motherhood‘s not easy but once you strike a balance, it makes it all worth it!
You have a very lovely daughter there!
I can imagine “the special smile”. It melts the heart. :)
Very heartwarming. OnlyGirl is indeed very pretty!
sheng & avril: thanks :)
witsandnuts: i was *this* close to bawling from extreme happiness!
Awww….OnlyGirl is so sweet.
I never tire looking at your very lovely daughter:-)
Everything is from Him :)
