Family

I am impressed at how our body works. It remains awake when it's needed! When it's time to shut down, it really shuts down.

I started my day at 10:30am on a home visit. Ended at 12:30pm and I met a friend for lunch. After which, I made my way to Singapore Children's Society for a meeting with another child till 5pm. Stayed on another hour to console and to explain the VERY bad situation to the family. After which, sent them back home and got my boss over to speak to the family. Left at 8:30pm and made my way to another family's house. Had dinner together with them till 11:30pm and I left only at about 12:45am.

It was a good thing that mummy called to chat with me to find out about my kids. She sounded pretty concern how things are turning out for them. Hee... I think if she had not called, I might have driven with my eyes half closed and brain totally shut down. I was almost tempted to call my bestie to have me stay over at her place (cause near the family I was with) but it was already passed midnight. Hahaha!!

Well, my purpose is not to share how "hardworking" I was cause at my last stop, I told my colleague that I can't be of much help cause I was half dead. Hee...

Today, I see the importance of family... Things changes (really) when one knows that he has his family backing him up. I am still mad from what happened yesterday. I am still worried about my kid. More importantly, I am angry at myself for making a mistake in my casework. As mad as I am with the situation yesterday, I am more more more mad at myself for not being careful enough. I should have known (certain things) and I should have taken precaution BUT I did not safeguard my kid well enough. Nonetheless, despite it all, today, I was absolutely comforted to see a family coming together as ONE speaking up for their child. They understood perfectly what boss and I meant when we told them that ULTIMATELY, the child we are helping them take care of, is NOT our child. When I see the grandmother, grandfather, aunt and mum starting to tear, I am comforted for the kid. If all else fail, he NEEDS to know that his family REALLY still loves him.

I was VERY comforted when my mummy showed interest in what I am doing and I see her standing up for my work too! To know that I have my mummy backing me, I am totally up on clouds!
