I told Huaihao I snagged a chance to write for SXXX. And he went, wow!

At bedtime. I think I must have woken him up.

“Are you happy?” I asked? He said, “What do you think ? Of course I am! “

I told him my fears and worries. And he went, “Why are you discouraging yourself? You should be happy! Its SXXX! You know?”

I asked him why he thinks I have these fears, worries? And he asks me not to think about that.

“How many people can say that? That my mommy is writing for SXXX?”

That kind of got me. This did not cross my mind at all. But Huaihao pointed it out.

My line of thought went back to the time when we discussed impossibility. I told Huaihao how I got hold of this exclusive interview-and then onwards to this story pitch which seemed impossible as well.

The impossibility of things and doing something along those lines, kind of piqued me and motivates me.

“Do I make you proud of me?”

“You should be proud of yourself mommy.”

The next thing I did was to raindrop Qinzhi. It’s our precious time together. We chat about anything and everything, it was mundane and it was good. The littlest things are precious and I just love how Qinzhi opens her arms to welcome me in for hugs. It feels like I reached home. And I hug her at her legs while she does her dome.

If anything, spending time with children is bliss bliss and bliss. We get to see things through their eyes, their world-newer than our own perhaps. We get to experience things we might not have been able to.

The everyday is bliss. Often times we want to reach for the skies, and in that, we kind of made things we have small or at least incomparable. But if you know- how precious this is.
