School is finally over.. for the schools here.. so all the kids out there.. is going to be hanging around the house alot… and drive their parents up the wall. Well for some kids like Keegan.. she being the productive and having a good head on her shoulder.. she would want more hours working at the store.. and save up for a car.. and things she needs before school reopens in September. That can only mean .. that we get more free time to do our own stuff.. and of course to look into our already very busy schedule.
Graduation is this week and i feel a little nostalgia because alot of kids that we know .. are graduating.. and it also makes me wonder .. when i can see our dear Chloe graduate too. Or will i lived that long to see her all grow up.. and graduating.. and be a useful person..?? Donch you feel that way sometimes..?? those of you who have younger kids..?? Sometimes, i worry about my health.. and the only reason is because i wanna be there for my brat .. as she is growing up.. and not only watch her grow.. but walk along with her. It is very hard to grow up.. without the support and encouragement from your parents.. i for one know first hand. My dad is still alive.. but i might as well consider him dead.. coz’ he was never there for any of my siblings or I. Having a mother who is so busy making ends meet.. and can only concentrate on one or two of us.. leave us girls .. very thin emotionally.
We were looking for love in all the wrong places. I see that in many teenagers here.. and hope.. and asked God.. not to let this happen to my Chloe.. where she has to find love in all the wrong places. I hope we are able to give her enough love, emotional support and be there for her.. in everything… not just the good stuff. I want to assure my daughter when she is going thru’ a difficult teen .. that our love is sufficient to carry her thru’ .. there is no need to look for comfort anywhere else.
Living in an “ang moh” land, one sees many things beyond your own expectation. Children are just plain rude and are proud to be useless. And i swear never to bring up chloe to be needy nor useless. There will be no bum in our family .. that’s for sure.
