letter to Lya

Dear baby Lya,

Mummy is writing you a love letter that I hope you will one day understand.

Mummy is having another baby in one week time and I hope that you will be good and reduce your tantrums to help mummy cope with the new addition to our beloved family.

Mummy will try my best to make this transition as smooth as possible and I ask , sorry, I beg for your patience and perhaps, co-operation to not make mummy's anxiety any worst.

Mummy is not sending you off to your military grandmother or the other care-free grandmother because mummy hope you can be apart of this journey.

Mummy have no idea whether what awaits us in September but please bear with me till they leave by October.

Soon, it will be just you , me , your younger sibling and daddy.

Trust in mummy that this is the best for you and me.

Trust in mummy that you will one day thank mummy for all of this.

Last but not least, Please learn to speak soon because you really need to relief mummy from your controlling grandmother. Please tell her what you really want.

Mummy is pretty tired of her " I am better than you" parenting interference.

This is mummy's only small request.

May God be with us as we walk through another chapter of our lives.

Love always

Mummy Charlene
