I Did Not Know I Could

My precious turned 5 months old today. As I lay in bed with him a while ago to pat him to sleep, it just occurred to me that 5 months ago, I did not know I could :
  • clean someone else's backside (with poo) and still keep smiling;
  • eat a fruit that has been licked and chewed by someone, who has left a lot of saliva on it;
  • play silly games over and over again just to hear some chuckles;
  • get heartache when someone is getting an injection;
  • cry when I saw the video about a maid abusing a two month old baby;
  • have the strength and energy to stay awake in the day, even when I have to wake up every 3 hours the night before;
  • sacrifice sleep at night to express my milk so as to maintain a constant supply;
  • insist on not taking painkiller when my head almost going to explode from a headache;
  • be so calm and not get irritated when a baby cries for not apparent reason;
  • look at someone and then from the bottom of my heart, thank God for creating him;
  • love someone more than I love myself;
  • feel so contented lying in bed and watching someone plays with his toes;
  • look forward to the day someone calls me "mum" and feel really ecxited;
  • feel so special to be a mother!
