Before i became a mom, colleagues who were mothers used to tell me that no matter how exhausted or frustrated they were at/with work, the weariness and frustration would disappear the very instant they reach home and were greeted by the smiles on their children's faces. Immersed in an environment of laughter and joy (in particular, the genuine joy that exudes from the innocent little ones), all troubles vanished momentarily.
Today (yes only today), do i fully comprehend or experience what they meant.
Why only today?
I really have no idea.
Perhaps i have never felt this exhausted and downcast?
It has been a horrid week. One of the worst i have ever had - a mental and verbal battle that lasted for a few days got me totally "worn out".
Dazed by the day's series of events, i was pacing along the pave to Mum's, totally unaware of my surroundings. Seconds after i appeared from the multi-storey carpark, i was greeted by a sweet little voice that went "Yayy! Mummy hui (second tone in han yu pin ying) lai (second tone in han yu pin ying) le!" and a bear hug. My little one had been waiting for me and watching out for her Mummy!
Would such a simple act of love and acceptance warm your heart and bring a smile? It sure did brighten my day. Like what the other mummies have experienced, all fatigue and anguish vanished instantaneously. =)
How would you like to return to a family filled with love, joy and peace?
Thank God for my hubby and little Adri. =)
