many a time umi sat down n thought about the hardship of bringing up 8 children. it is certainly no party having to be on my toe all the time, making sure none is left unattended, which sometimes happened but it was without any intention.
imagine having to entertain all of them; who are very different naturally, some are easy going, some play the quiet role, some just burst unexpectedly, some try to remain cool when the feeling is seething inside....
just imagine is it easy to understand them all? obviously, it is not as simple as ABC. at one time, umi honestly believed that i had given my level best, only to despair as my deed was not good enough, then again, umi just felt like giving up, but after looking at their desperate, give me attention look, umi just thaws away, putting aside my anger but relented and offer them selfless love and undivided attention.
this up and down kind of relationship with my children is actually the learning path towards understanding and developing my own sanity, personality and priority. if i just let them go, i will miss a very huge part of myself...thus how to lead this life.
to all my children, i am not perfect, i am no angel, i make mistake, i grumble, but deep inside i love all of you with all my God blessed heart.
