Evolving love




My newly formed family is finally reaching an important climax, a combination of both families, coming together in times of need, to welcome the next generation.

Milly is carrying Lya and the old lady is her mother, Lya's Great grandmother and my beloved mother, wearing the green jacket.

I have often worried , a tad bit, on how my mother would get along with milly. My mother is a very , very simple lady, who does what she can to help me cope with Lya. She is coming to 70 of age and if compared to milly, a young 57, my mother is not as agile nor can she do everything for me.

But with my respect for elders, I am determined not to let anyone serve me. I have surrender much of my daily chores to milly, because of my delicate condition. But I am reminded, that her love must not be forsaken.

If anything, I have learn to hold my tongue, when disagreements arises and simply solve each conflict of interest with equal debate and less harshness.

Father's reminder to not forsake their love and concern has given me much thought.

I am indeed more stable with my own feelings and just allow new love into my family.

With an open mind and an open heart, I am embracing the new found love and respect.

Please do not think for once that it has been easy because like anything in life, there are bad and good days.

But I have learn to not hold any grudges and just take it as it comes.

The pictures, themselves, will tell you the story of my journey.

Mind you, my mother dun even speak proper mandarin and yet, their new found respect for each other is profound. Almost inspiring....

  1. Mother's mandarin is not that bad lah! She can still quote proverbs. She needs to recall from the book of Chinese proverbs, if she can find where she put it first:)
