Mum's birthday!

Center: Mum
Left to Right: my younger sis ( caihong), my er jie (caiyun) and me ( caizhu)
Missing in picture: da jie (xueyun) and lao di ( jingcai)

Two guys in pic: with spectacles - Guohao ( my xiao mei's bf)

without spectacles - Cyril ( my er jie's long long time bf)

good to hear him telling us his good news, just like a family...where we are secure in sharing things out, knowing that its a safe place to share and being understood and accepted.

somehow over these years, things have changed in this family. at least, as i "observed and reflected". i thank God for His love that has "silently" immersed into this family, with much grace and mercy. no one could ever imagine what it was like many many years ago. at least to now what i see, i thank God those days are over now. God, how can i ever be thankful, it came a long way with much prayers and trust in You to see what it is now and what it will be even in the future.

that time, it was difficult to believe. yet, for Your Love has pulled it through. Your promise is revealing now...

ever thankful. there wont be anything i would exchange for Your love. it will be done only with Your Love and strength poured into me.

Mum's 57th Birthday!

( 3rd May 1949)

first time without him...

yet it was "ok"....

coz many "replaced" his presence.

seemingly so.

of course, i felt it was not the same.

it will take a while more...
