it's been so long since I blogged...


Mom's been diagnosed with 1st stage breast cancer and quite a number of things has changed in our household. Mom's weaker now & can't use her left hand much after her op to remove the lump but she's coping well and I'm so proud of her for being so strong & positive.


The housework is now divided between us & my dad but I think Des & dad does the most of it...You know, the funny thing is, I never thought of my mom as sick throughout this time, because she's so positive. & as a christian, her faith is strong and it never wavered despite the shock and pain of all that's happened. I am so thankful to the Lord, especially that so far the cancer cells have not affected her other organs & that my mom is so positive. Dad's right, she carrys herself very well.


Immanuel no longer comes everyday, but we make it a point to fetch him over to our place every week. The little boy now goes to a childcare centre. To be honest, it's very hard to not see him. I mean, everything happened quite sudden so he must be wondering why all of a sudden he doesn't come to our place everyday anymore. & that thought is killing us all I think. That's why we are always going over to his centre & bringing him back here, when dad's off. I wanted to take care of him, but I guess it's just too much for now. Des mentioned maybe next year would be a good idea, since Kate would be walking by then and she can play with him and be more independent. I miss him...& I hope he is coping well and enjoying his school.


Kate's been great, still sticky gluey but very loving and cheeky. her first words are "mum mum"! (That's food, for the uninitiated)


Well, more to blog about again some other time...
