It's Good to be Back

It's been a while since my last post.. So many things happened between the last 4 weeks.. I have been in my busiest days since I moved here... With popoh staying here, my responsibilities were doubled.. I learnt to take care elder patiently and learnt to love her more and more.. Praise God, she is home now and in good condition.. Please kindly keep praying for her recovery.. Each of your prayers are appreciated..

After popoh going home.. Now is my cousin's time.. My dearly cousin, Michelle, has been suffering from her polyp for the past years.. She has breathing problems and allergies that make her harder to breathe.. After some considerations, Michelle will undergo a surgery removing the polyp. She and her mom will be staying at my place for about 10 days.. I am blessed to have them here..

But.. the most important thing I want to share is that I could be able to spend this year's Mother's day at home.. after years being away from family, this is the first comeback year I could be able to hug and say "Happy Mother's Day" directly to my beloved mom.. I love my mom.. she's my super mom.. knowing her for the last 23.5 years makes me realize how great and wonderful her love and support for me, my brother and my dad... these past months, I have been kind of learning and preparing myself to be more mature.. and I could say I learnt the most from her.. I am really truly blessed to be able to spend this Mother's Day with her.. we did not do something special.. it's just a normal routine.. we woke up in the morning and prepared for church... Both of us had ministry in children's choir.. we went to church and did our ministry (children's choir ministered that day).. after that we went back home.. had lunch with grandparents.. and went back to church for activities with the kids.. after that went back home again (our home and church is very close, it's less than 10 minutes apart -by car).. had lunch.. we chatted and watched TV together.. and later in the night.. I was heading back to Jakarta for my flight back to Singapore.. nothing special, nothing arranged.. but I still felt the blessings and joy spending one fine Sunday with her by my side.. I really appreciate my time with her.. I Love You, Mami...

and Happy Mother's Day for all the mothers in the world..

Family Love

these past couple weeks.. I have been grateful for every single details happened in my life. I love how God surprise me with His details.. sometimes those details are irritating.. but some are super sweet yet powerful..

Praise God for His mercy upon Popoh. She recovered really really well.. She could finely walk now.. although she is still in trauma for whatever happened before, Popoh are in good condition now.. She has lived with me for these past two weeks.. at first, I am really excited for her living with me.. but day after day.. I realized who she really is.. Sometimes, I get annoyed.. other times, I am grateful for her presence..

Anyway, for whatever happened these past weeks, I am very thankful for my family.. One thing that I learnt is whatever happens in your life, you still have a family that will stand by you.. I learnt how hard it is to take care popoh.. to be able to get her here.. it costs lots (really really lots) of money.. but her kids don't see it as problem, not because we are rich (cause we don't), but because they want the best for their mom.. they want their mother get the best doctor and heal well...

I am super glad that Popoh finally can go back home this Saturday.. I think she has enough time here in Singapore =D at the same time, I know I will miss her presence ever since.. but.. I am also excited because this Sunday is Mother's Day and I will have the chance to spend it with my mom and grandma.. It's been years since we are celebrating Mother's Day together.. so.. I just really excited for this coming weekend.. Hope you will have a great Mother's Day too =)
