The Little Worm

Our youngest daughter whom we nicknamed "worm" because she was so active and fast in everything she used to do became a mother in her own right .Her baby came one month earlier than scheduled and with that all the careful planning went haywire as mom had to go to London and would not be around after the first few days and it was quite fortunate we could get a replacement nanny on time. Lucas was born premature and needed special care and it was painful for us to see our "little " girl go through the initial anxiety of mother hood together with her husband.It struck me then as it always has that a parent's love for the child is really special.Right from the day Baby Yeong was born this was very evident.What is there stronger than a parents' love for the child.From the moment it is born you can feel that here you have parents who would do anything for their child.the moment the child is born you can feel that he has become the focus of everything they do and their whole world now revolves round the child. It makes us happy to see our own little girl grow onto motherhood and at the same time it makes us feel pain seeing her having to go through a difficult part of her life.We feel her joy and share her pain .That is all we can do as parents.We have always assured Andrew and her that they should not worry about anything as we are there all the time for them as their child is our grandchild and the family bond is stronger than anything else. Be healthy and grow up well Lucas Yeong !!
