Soothing Words - At The Right Time
Last few weeks have been most hectic. I have been in and out of Singapore several times and it is extremely tiring to travel those long distance by land or by air. Then there was the mad rush to be back for Chinese New Year, rushing through the houseworks, attending to the boys, and still having to answer for office deliverables.
I am worn out and exhausted. All I need is a really good rest. Yet, such a simple wish seems so impossible…..especially with so many responsibilities lying on my shoulder. *sigh*
[I cannot believe that I would fall sick twice within a month. Now, I am voiceless due to my flu. It shows that our body really needs a break:(]
Perhaps, my fatigueness is written all over my face. Just when I needed comfort most, that little voice of Brendan brought peace to my heart last night.
He said:”Mommy, don’t be sad. You are the strongest woman. You know you will never give up.”
The encouragement came “pleasantly” unexpected. It is heartwarming.
The message is simple and short. To me, it is sufficient. Some sincere and encouraging words from her child are enough to warm a mother’s heart.
[No matter how demanding or disobedient our kids are sometimes, they do brighten up our life too. Don't you agree?]
The soothing words came at the right time *broad smile*.
“THANK YOU, Bren. I am just sick and exhausted. I will be better soon………..”
Sensible boy.
Big Hug. Take care. I hope you recover soon.
Brendan is so sensible. It is truly heart-warming to hear such words from our kids. You’re right to say that our kids do brighten up our lives, no matter how demanding they are sometimes.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. And try to get some rest. :)
Your son is so sweet :) Thanks for visiting my blog ;p
Aunty J and Lynn,
Thanks:)
Ing,
Yah..that’s my kid at this age. Sometimes, he can rebellious, sometimes he doesn’t seem to understand but at times he can be so sensible and makes me so touched. That’s the BITTERNESS and SWEETNESS of motherhood.
Bren,
“Hug”in return. Good boy.
A child can sense his mother’s feeling without you need to express it. Recommended health supplements: garlic, echinacea, spirulina, green tea, probiotic, vit C to ward off you from cold.
Viviana, thanks for offering the health tips….Been trying to rest but cold is still there..will be fine soon.
