= Promised my best friend to do the photo montage for my godsons so thought I will post it up. Rest of the photos are found here. Meanwhile, a quick update also =
Today, my best friend brought my 2 godsons to my place to visit my dad. It was really sweet of her. I haven't seen my godsons for months!! About half a year actually. I missed them lots yet making time to travel to visit them has not been easy since my dad's incident. At any chance, I would want to be at home. Heart ached when I see Pearly so so so tired. Poor Matt was coughing. As usual, she got lost again. Cute thing was that Matt asked her "Mummy, are you lost again?" And as usual, whenever she gets lost, she gets tired cause it does take a lot of energy to get un-lost.
I went to the carpark to pick them up. Carried Matt and mummy was already waiting for them at the gate. The minute Matt heard Spanner and Sparkle barked, I literally felt Matt's hand tightened around me. In his soft clear voice, he said "I am scared of dogs. I got bitten before. A dog bite my last finger. It was painful." When John heard Spanner (especially Spanner) bark, he squinted his eyes as if saying "So loud! I am going deaf!!!"
Matt has grown up really well. Very embracing, very friendly. Despite being afraid of dogs, when told to call my mum, he put aside his fear and said "Hello Aunty". When I put him down on the floor, he asked me why. I told him that I am going to bring my daddy out. He looked at me curious as if wondering "Why can't daddy come out?". When he saw daddy, there was no fear. In fact, he was very embracing and very friendly. He held out his hand and said "Hi Uncle". After awhile, he ran up to my sofa to be safe from my dogs (unknowing that my dogs can actually jump too... *grin*).
Had a quick chat with Pearly. She expressed her concerns for my mum cause she ran down a lot. I acknowledged it. In fact, it's something in my heart all these while. Everyday when I see my mum, I get so worried that before I can get burned out from my job, she is already burned out from taking care of my dad.
====================================================================
Also, just a very quick update (some friends have told me that I haven't been updating them on my life. Seemed that blogs has become one avenue for keeping in touch. Heee... I wonder if it's good or bad):
1) Dad has been home for about 5 weeks. Going back to CGH regularly for medical check up. Medically, he is doing okay. However, emotionally not too well. A few weeks ago, suspected arthritis but blood test proved otherwise. He has problems sleeping at night. Doesn't want to go for physio initially. When he finally agreed, he made things difficult at the therapy session. Physio stopped for now. On a personal note, I am wondering if bringing him to a church will help him as he is rather bored at home. Having friends will help a lot actually. Perhaps that can relief my mum a little also. If you ask me, I am actually more worried for my mum more than my dad. Kudos to her! Best caregiver, best wife, best mother anyone could have!
Prayer points:
- Opportunity to speak to dad
- Dad to be emotionally positive
- Mum's health
2) Currently going through another change in my work place. This time, it affects me directly. Moving on to another dept. To me, it's a "dream" come through. When I joined Beyond as an intern, I have had wanted to be in the Children & Youth Dept. However, due to manpower allocation, I was placed in Family Dept. Nonetheless, I still love my job no matter where I am placed. And so, a few weeks back, I was approached and asked if I would like to be transferred to Residential. I jumped at the opportunity. For now, change is not going to take place till August. Gotta cover my manager who will be on long leave and at the same time, wait for a new caseworker to come on-board. So interestingly, I am now wearing 2 hats with one leg in Family and one leg in Residential.
Okie.. Quick updates over. Bye!
