One grey day and one sunshine girl
Date : 7 September 2005, Wednesday. 9amThis week hasn't been easy.
Maybe too many things needed to be done and too short a holiday.
Anyway, in my down mood, on the way to Zane's school, Zoe asked me this on the bus.
Zoe : Mummy, are you happy?
Me : (lying actually, and putting on my best smile). Yes, Zoe, I am happy.
Me : Are you happy, Zoe? (still smiling)
Zoe : (with her broadest smile). Yes ! Mummy! I am happy!
Me : Why is Zoe happy? You wanna tell mummy?
Zoe : Becauseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (she likes to drag this word nowadays) .......... Mummy is happy!
I was dumbfounded for a few seconds!
Me : Thank you, Zoe! That is a very sweet thing to say. Mummy loves you.
* time to alight *
And on the path to Zane's school, she was trying to comfort Zane.
Zoe : Zane, later, no need to cry ok? Don't worry, mummy will fetch you soon. Jie Jie has holiday, no need to go to school. You don't have holiday, so, you go to school, ok?"
Hahahahahah ........Thank God for this little blessing.

Hi Gwyneth,
Thank you for dropping by my blog and your comment.
I did surf some other blogs and oh boy, comments seem rare. Maybe there are more silent readers around than commentators? Of course there are spammers.
The next time you see Zoe, which I believe will be on Monday, you can try if she will give you a bear hug.
And I do agree with you, Zoe can be rather sweet at times. :)
That day, what she said was God-sent. I was extra down that particular week or day. What she said really brought cheer and esp. knowing that God loves and cares so much that He can speak through Zoe, on such a grey day.
Looking forward to more coffee/ tea sessions. Must rope Choo in next round, she is great company to have. And, maybe, this round, we safe-guard Ong's car key for her? kekeke .....
Love,
Jess
