Exhausted & pensive

I am thoroughly exhausted. Mentally and emotionally that is.

So shall not blog much today.

My daughter was sick today and was given 2 days MC. This is her second trip to the doctor's. The doctor had initially said he'd give her 2 weeks MC and I froze and turned around to face him, imagining the worst. "What?? She had HFMD??!!" As it turned out, he was merely joking, except that in such times of medical hypersensitivity, I didn't find it the least bit funny. Anyway, my girl was grinning, sick though she was, cos she had just missed her tingxie today - her most dreaded event in school.

I'm also in a pensive mood, because I'm reminded of how I had lost my father on Good Friday last year. As if my emotions are building up towards his death anniversary, I had inadvertently spent the last few days thinking of him and my mind is running a slide show of images of my father, as I reminisce over the moments we had. I can't say we are particularly close, though I do feel a lot for him, my frail father who talked so little about himself but gave so much of his life for his 3 children.

Shall not write anymore for now. For my tears are blinding my sight as I am left with just memories of someone I love dearly.

Good night folks.
