ashwin singing

it is a joy and a privilege to be able to sit in with you as you practise singing 

--------

Singing practice

I watch you throw your head back,

eyes closed

to memorise a line and sing it to the wind, in Tamil. 

To hear the finished piece is one joy,

but to sit in daily practice, is sublime

Amirtham.  

you don't know your own gift from God

maybe that makes it even more special

Hearing the polished song is one joy 

but to sit by your side day after day

as you practice is whole other level

one I'm the only one privileged enough to hear 

-----

you are truly gifted. 

I am sad when I think of you saying you want to stop after next week 

but maybe you won't...by God's grace 

lousy mum

I'm a lousy scary Mom when it comes to maths

I have expectations 

nor only that you do math but that you look interested. don't yawn. don't stretch.  be present in a way I recognise. 

I'm so mad at myself. 

we had a good thing going this morning. and I crushed it. 

sigh. 

aishu sweetheart

My baby made me a scrap book on the theme of my roles. I love her so  such a thoughtful gift so beautifully put together with material from the house. she's always been the one to creatively find presents for us around the house haha

I'm so touched coz no one has given me one like this before. she just learns and learns. I dunno how even got the idea. After a long morning at sungei buloh too. 

before that I was down and she wrote another card.  i should read it. in essence telling me I am enough. I need to hear that. can't sleep now coz I'm worrying so much. I should tell myself I am enough 

truly my children are gifts from God.and God will protect them. I just have to listen and follow God's advice to care for them properly
