wreath





To every one who picked up the phone for me and texted me back, thanks. I needed just a voice on the other end -- my brother, Honey and Crissie. There were also a few who sends e-mails and texts me constantly, such blessed souls, I'm grateful. There are others whom I might not have returned the miss calls in the recent past, my apologies, I'll speak to you in earnest soon. Those who wouldn't even text me back on my miss calls during the past week, I understand, I have my share of self-loathing episodes for this week alone, I'm sure you have your reasons.

One of the nicest and hardworking guys is laid to rest. You are in our hearts forever, Papa Tom.

Volution




Going anywhere with a toddler is just hard. Maybe I don't have much of a mothering instinct or I would simply embrace the difficulties. I hate the sound of my screams, in public or in private. Others thrive balancing the chores -- keeping up with the laundry, ironing the pesky creases, waking up way too early. But my sweet child is adorable, our most wonderful treasure. She's the foremost love of our lives. She twirls and tumbles her way to the core of emotions.

building walls




I miss Papa Tom. He was very kind. While there are a few people in this universe that are simply selfish, incorrigible, irredeemable and I thought they were nice. But in times of great sadness, I've discovered some hard truths about so-called friends while labouring in pain. In plain terms, the family lost Papa Tom and I've decided to do away with one of my blog's regularly featured person. I sensed a reluctance in a little bit of help at the minefield. She did lend assistance but groaning and moaning on the side highlighted a reality that some people in essence are harsh and mean.

There should be simplicity in the natural order of things. I've decided to break bonds with those who don't deserve time and attention. Life as we know it is short. We should strengthen our affinity towards those who deserve our care and ministration.

sad




My father in law passed away last night in his sleep. Tears are falling.
