On birthdays :)

On your birthday, your friends and family will wish you a Happy Birthday. Sometimes, you feel sad when they forget. Although I would like very much to say that only when I receive wishes from people who truly mean it, or from people whom I care about, will they mean something to me, I am not at that level yet. There is still the twinge of sadness when people forget.. :( And it's somehow affected me more so in the recent years.. But today I realized something more meaningful than having everyone remembering and celebrating my birthday... is that today is the day that my mum laboured to deliver me. It suddenly struck a chord in me when I received an SMS from mum apologizing for not having the time to get me any present that day.. Why should she be giving me a present when I should be thanking her for giving me life, for letting me have the opportunity to meet all the Angels in life? Can't believe it took me 28years to realise this. And so, Mr Wolfball and I got her a present instead! ;) We think she was really pleasantly surprised to be on the receiving end today, and that was my birthday present (she also did all my laundry for me while i was out tho, haha), probably the most meaningful one I've had so far :)

Angels :)

Sorry guys for the lack of posts lately.. Been down with a flu and sore throat for a month, then struck by gastritis... :s Ha and i always end up starting my posts and leaving these drafts for several weeks and sometimes months!! :p Ok so now here goes a post I sat on for a long time.. :p

And then there were Angels. :) No, I'm not talking about my close encounter with death.. It's about the Angels in our daily lives who are always there to cheer us on, lift us up when we fall. These Angels who make us feel that life is worth living for. I have now the best Angel in the world to accompany me through most things I do, of course :p But this post was more inspired by my realization that there were so many other Angels who have come to offer support in times of need. Like the Angel who is always willing to lend a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and ever so generous in rendering help. Then there is another Angel who is trying to help me and hubby secure our future! Ha well not exactly, but more like helping us settle in for just the next few years, and this is really not something he needs to be cracking his head over but he is.. :) Oh how I wish i could do something for these lovely Angels. :)
