Is this the little girl I carried,
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?
When did she grow to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be so tall?
Wasn't it only yesterday,
When they were small?
Sumrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days ...
I don't know how many of you can remember this song which our choir used to sing? It was from the film "Fiddler on the Roof". I was reminded of this when my younger daughter was busy "taking care" of me by bringing my breakfast up to my room, fixing my drinks, and putting her hand on my forehead to see if the fever had subsided. And she is all of 8!
Despite feeling very much under the weather, I managed a smile as I watched her going about her duties in a very grown up manner. (Usually, she can't even fix her own drink, but she seems to enjoy "mothering "me this time around.)
Of course after a while, she must have gotten a tad tired of the responsibility for she looked at me and asked,"Mama, do you think you are well enough to suap me the nasi lemak? It tastes very much better kalau you suap!
I hadn't been too well the last week and had been on and off MC and I know she was feeling a bit neglected. So, after feeding her the Nasi Lemak which her Baba bought, I asked her to bring the laptop to my bed and together, we surfed to her favourite spots and played internet games. Thank Allah for advancements in technology!
I was checking my email today and saw Hafidz's mail saying she wasn't feeling too well yesterday. It must be the weather ... this heat must be taking its toll! Even my husband, Jeff, who is usually quite fit and healthy, is not feeling too well. I am off to the doctor now (again, for the second time this week!)
Hope I recover quickly, because there's amillion and one things to do!
