Happy Belated Mother's Day!

It was Mother's Day yesterday. It was my third time (including the time I am preggy) celebrating this great day belonging to us mothers. As an old saying said, “It is not until you are a mother yourself that you can truly understand your mother.” My mother used to complain to me that hers is the worst job on earth as she has to work 2359hrs everyday! For now I am a mother myself, I can understand what she meant by that.

To begin with, I am not lucky as any first-time mother. On top of dealing with the many “firstS” while caring for your first-born, my little gal was diagnosed with torticollis at 20 days old! Taking care of her is no longer as simple as just fulfilling her basic needs anymore. Besides the usual feeding and nappy changing, we have to exercise her neck as frequent as possible. This is tough as we have to conduct the physio-treatment on her amidst all her cries. It is heart breaking to see the young little one, who is only a month old, yelling away while you continue the stretching on her. The rest as what everyone says is history...

Today, my little gal has fully recovered and is a healthy little nutty. Though she has to go back for 6monthly checkups, she can hold her head straight like any child.

I suppose God has its way for us, the humble beings. I am fortunate and blessed that I have my PIL to help me in taking care of her when I returned to work after my 12weeks maternity leave.
The credit should go to (not just myself) but my PIL as well. You see, from here, we can see the chain of relationship. From the moment you have a child, your duty never ends.....
