Today, it finally occurred to me that tomorrow Elon is really going back to school. He would be gone most of the day only to be picked up in the afternoon. I do not know how to feel? Should I be happy? Happy that there is one less kid I have to tend to at […]
Today it just occurred to me that people will never be able to experience Eden the way babies not born during the pandemic were experienced. Her first year of life seems to be in captivity. She’s like one of the hostages of the pandemic. That made me sad. I felt sad because it seems that […]
Had to share this for a laugh Me: Elon look at your cousin. He lost his teeth Elon: What? How old is he? Me : 7, I think Elon : I never want to be 7 because I don’t want to lose teeth Me: But Elon when you lose teeth, you can put it under […]
…is just another way to sayI’ll always love you so Yes that’s the Barry Manilow song. But I am using this line for Elon. Because yesterday he did a beginner trial for basketball kids. It was 6-7 in the evening and that was also Eden’s bedtime. I had to miss it (let go) although I […]
No? Because I do. Lately, whenever I am driving and my son is in his seemingly small carseat, I look from the mirror and wonder whose kid is this person seated in the back seat of my car? Sometimes I catch a glimpse of him while sleeping all long limbs like his dad’s and I […]
Ding dong says the bell as I cross the street to drop you off in school. It is the first real sign of the day that I am to part with you. Shakespeare said parting is such sweet sorrow but it’s mostly sorrow for me. Maybe because you’re just 4 and very sweet. My boy, […]
Happy birthday, my love. I have been writing down notes weeks ago for this blog post but nothing ever worked out except for this one I just wrote during the eve of your birthday. I am an ESFJ so below is purely my feelings. Here it goes. I admit it, I have put you aside […]
I have always been a worrier. When I was younger, I would worry for days before the school announces the list of achievers. I had to be at least in the top 3 of my class. I would worry about getting A’s instead of B’s. I would push myself to compete with boys in PE […]
As you get older, they say that your circle becomes smaller. I guess that is true. There were your closer friends who are now are not as close. There are some that still keeps in touch but barely hanging on. There are some who’s present when they need something from you. There are new relationships […]
Happy 5 months, Elon! Although taking care of you is sometimes challenging (not hard!), my love always outweighs it all. When I sleep at night, I always remember to pray because I have to ask God to keep you away from SID. I also re-watch your videos from my phone and Snapchat. And I also […]
