PaTiEnCe and AccePTANcE

Someone close called and relayed her problem.
So she has come to a decision.
At first I thot her decision was based on anger, sorrow and disgrace.

The more she revealed the situation she is currently facing, I concluded that her decision is FINAL.
Tried to make her see the consequences of her intention.
She revealed even more!

Sometimes, patience is something that you have to inculcate within yourselves. Once inculcated, there goes the acceptance. Acceptance is merely an interim or interval in between ... I trust she went thru this as well. While during interval she might have done something to change the current situation... to correct things...
and yet the situation remained the same... and it was very disheartening to observe that she was the one who tried to her level best to make things work... and yet she failed.

Being human, I believe we have limits to our patience. There is always give and take... But in life when people start to take from you without giving back, you are actually being squezzed and grilled to your bone! When it is always YOU who have to give without getting the returns ... you will need to put a big FULLSTOP.

I pray to Allah that she will be given the guidance to follow thru her decision. That decison of hers is the first step for more challenges in future.Looking at her determination and courage, I believe she has all set and ready to Go.

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you well, May Allah be with You Always!
HE knows what's the BEST for each and everyone of us.
This must be a test of many others that we may never ever think of... 

THerE iS aLwaYs a FIRST tiMe

Yup! Amir is now in his standard One. How time flies...
I must be very lucky as he showed no tantrum on his first day, even though I always have a kinda fear that all mothers have...

But he did alright. On his first day, he managed to handle himself well. I left him alone while other parents were observing their children from the shutters and the doors of the classrooms.

Well my hubby and I split ourselves... One had to attend the briefing and one had to stand in a long queue at the bookshop.
I voted for the bookshop then...! Had to queue for about an hour.

As for me and hubby, this is our first time - preparing all Amir's stuff for his schooling. Perhaps like other parents on their first time, we were excited.

When I told my SIL that I felt my watery eyes seeing Amir on his first day of schooling, I thot she would laugh at me... but amazingly that was what she felt the fist time she sent her kids to school.

So the feeling was equal and nothing wrong with me then! hahahhaa..
As for Amir, I am sure this is a stage where he will explore things and surroundings..
As for both of us... the challenge is just in front of our eyes now..
For his atok and nenek... they have been missing this kiddo...
Both of them can only see Amir on weekends...
I know they have been missing all those cheeky and mischievous moments of Amir...
It clearly shows!
