Forgiveness

Few months ago I was helping Helena to settle down on her swing and was trying to secure a piece of plastic thingy in between her thigh so she won't fall down. I guess I screw it in too tightly and it "pinched" her flesh. No blood but there was some mark. I was feeling guilty and kept saying "sorry" to her and hugging her. Well she didn't have niagara falls tears or make a big hooha. *phew* Later when Henry (her dad) came back and saw the mark and asked what happen, he jokingly asked her "you want me to scold Godma for you?" And what she said next sort of took me by surprise..."No! She already said sorry!" Wow...And she's only just turned 3. If only every adult can be as forgiving as little children this world would be a much better place to live in. I certainly have a lot to learn about forgiveness from this child.

I'm going to be a GODMA.....again!!

yup...Jo's pregnant again. It's about time since Helena's oledi 3 years old and by the time the new baby comes she'll be 4.

When I heard the news...frankly....I wasn't really excited. I might even felt a bit...stressful. Dunno....maybe I put a lot of pressure on myself trying to be a good godma. I always wonder to myself...am I doing a good job? am I spoiling Helena? am I buying her the right toys? am I using the right way to teach her? am I spending enough time with her? I'm already feeling very guilty that I dun get to spend more time with Jerrell. I guess Shu Yuh knows that becoz now everytime she calls me she'll say "hey your godson is back" instead of "hey I'm back in KL!" I was thinking..."hmmm.. one more godchild...am I able to handle it?...am I able to live up to Jo & Henry's expectations of me being their children's godma?" Stressful right? hahahaha

I guess I better not worry too much(risk getting more white hair!). I've enjoyed this journey so far. Helena has taught me a lot of stuff and I'm looking forward to her little brother/sister to teach me more things. *grin*

Anita's OK!

For those of you who enquired....Anita's getting better! Thanks for your prayers. She was out of ICU last saturday and will be discharged from the hospital tomolo. Then she & Juhani will be going back to Finland on thursday morning. In a way...according to my sister it's also good for her as she got a complete check-up and body cleansing at the hospital which will cost her a bomb at Finland. At least it's cheaper here in Malaysia! haha
