It is shocking how time flies. I often wish that I can freeze time to keep the precious moments in my life - the sassy comments, heartwarming gifts, hugs, kisses and emotional breakthroughs we have. What happened to the little cherubs, toddlers, girls we cherished? Lost through dimensions of time or kept in hidden folds of our hearts? All too soon, they have become young ladies. I must catch hold of them before they disappear again.
I brought Wan to the doctor this afternoon. She had a swollen lymph node, nothing serious or requiring medication. However, it did bring on a lot of advice on drinking enough water. She used to laugh when I called her a "troublesome" child and list her physical ailments which had made my blood pressure escalate. I promised to give a detailed list to her future husband, and the response was, "That does it - I am not marrying a Chinese who can understand all you just mentioned."
On the way home today, Chien asked me if I have ever had the feeling that someone is watching me while I sleep. To allay her fears, she was advised to say her fears, and ask whoever is watching her to watch her little sisters instead. That brought on guffaws of laughter, but hopefully it will ward off bedtime jitters I thought she had overcome.
