It’s a real joy to see Priscilla growing. She loves to talk
and dance to music, very different from her two older siblings. Lately, she
learnt to imitate us too.
Every morning, before I leave for work I would wave to her.
She must have noticed my black computer on my shoulder: an indication that I am
going away for the day.
One evening, I took out my video camera from its little
black casing. While trying to video Prissy dancing to music, she decided to
crawl towards the small black bag, lift it up and hang it over her tiny
shoulder. Her other hand waving to me, as though to say: “Mum, its my turn to
say good bye now!”
I was caught off guard. Indeed, I only have limited number
of years with Prissy before she leaves us for college, work and eventually her
own family. It was a poignant moment that drew out tears from my eyes. I am
missing her already!
Thank you God for reminding me that I should treasure my time
with my children, as there is only so many of years before they leave me. Help
me to be a better parent each day.
