This morning i was woken up by a
phone call from my children's school.They told me that my little one had hurt herself while playing netball.Her nose had bled profusely when the ball hit it.My heart thumped violently.First instinct was to put down the phone and run to school.But i calmed myself down and requested to speak to her.
She came on the phone,I thought she wld be crying.
But in her soft little voice she told me that she 's ok."Tak'la tak sakit!"(.."No la ,its not painful"),she said bravely.
I was taken by her calmness and i wondered why.Then i realised, this must be because she's at school and her teacher s in front of her.
If she s at home, she 'd have been howling!
Come to think of it.We re also like that.We re so good to put up a front when we re with people, who we know we can get much.
Especially when we re hurting ,we hide our most inner feelings so well.We think that if we show our feelings, we are weak .
So how's your morning?

glad to hear she's ok. what i see in situations like this is that kids reflect what they see in our eyes.
it's so amazing to realise how our much our little children really depend on us. we are their world; or should i say, our word is their world. remember the movie Life is Beautiful? sometimes the thought of being a responsible parent scares me.... that i may not always be the better person that i have to be, for my kids.
