Wow! Almost 2 months since my last post. Worked on another
fundraiser; so much of my time and energy are going into events that eventually
will have no meaning in my life!
So, back to what matters most …
I have decided to call my younger one Hans – homage to a
certain character in a certain movie franchise and also, he is “hands full” J Hans is like most
other 4 year old kids. He is very energetic; asks a lot of questions and makes
a million observations. Recently, we were walking back home from his Art class
and as we got closer to home, he let go of my hand and decided to run the last
length by himself. Of course, I got into a bit of a panic mode as he darted
onto the street. I ran after him and luckily, this very nice man stopped his
SUV to let the little fella cross the street. I thanked him profusely and
caught up with my child.
“Do you know what could have happened to you?”
“You mean I could die?”
I am never the one to argue logic.
“Yes! You could have died and Momley would have been very
sad.”
“I would have missed my birthday?”
“Yes!”
“I NEVER want to miss my birthday. I don’t want to die
FOREVER!”
“Then you should never run away from Momley like that.”
“OK.”
