I remember myself smiling in my dreams this morning, just before I woke up.
I dreamt of daddy and in the dream, I see daddy making effort on his own to stand up and walk. He was also smiling at me and on the opposite side was my mother. I saw her smiling too.
Then, I was startled by my phone ringing tone. I overslept and my father in law called to wake me up.
The dream was queer, at least to me, because since my dad's stroke, I hardly see him make such great effort in his ambulation on his own. To make the dream even sweeter, my dad was smiling so sweetly. I don't know how to interpret the dream but the dream warmed my heart, knowing that daddy's with God. I am sure that he is pleased with his children's life.

Life as a married woman has been very pleasant for me. I often tell my colleagues, friends, etc that I have a more understanding husband than he has a more understanding wife. I guess, at the end of the day, it's not about who is more understanding than the other. It's about giving and taking appropriately with love and respect.
Living apart from my mother didn't seem as difficult as I had envisioned it to be before my marriage. (Trust me, I was preparing for the WORST!) It helped a lot that Geo & I stay over at my mum's place once a week or twice a week. It helped a lot also that my mummy's tech saavy!!! She plays Farmville on Facebook!!! Well, the point is not that she plays Farmville. The point is that Facebook chat, then, became our avenue of communication.
As for staying with my in-laws, I am speechless at how well taken care I am. I now understand why people say "When you choose a husband, get to know his parents first." Geo's parents are such gentle and kind-hearted people. It's no wonder why Geo is so gentle. Although we stay with his parents, we do still make sure that we return home for dinner at least, at least, once a week.
At the end of it all, after 4 months of marriage, one major thing I learn is Time Management. God has given us 7 days in a week. It should be more than sufficient - nothing more, nothing less.
