Hello.. beautiful, and true indeed.. Once we were the children that learnt things that made who we are today.. And I believe, the children inside us still learning.
dear Fi sha
How beautiful and wonderfully true those words are.
I have been on leave for the last 2 weeks looking after awah and atiyah (our maid balik kampung) and today is my last day as their full time 'maid' The two weeks have been the most tiring but yet the most rewarding for me...and reading the essay on my last day has really made realise how lucky I am.
Dear Lady Florenz
Indeed, there's a child in each of us and that is why learning is a lifelong experience. Do take care my dear friend...
Hi Mr H
I am glad this post came at the most appropriate time, making so much sense to you. I always believe parents are lulcy people for they have magic wands to shape the future, be able to see the future and beauty of present through their children's eyes. Thank you Mr H for being such a loving father to Atiyah and Awah...
