Yesterday was filled with myriad of emotions and thoughts.
It was both mountain high and valley low at the same time.
Mountain high: My brother got promoted to fatherhood! My beautiful gorgeous niece - Jade Koh was born! My sister-in-law went through 28 hours of tough labour pains with 2 full epidural and an emergency c-section. I really don't know how she did it. It's just amazingly miraculous.
Valley low: A friend's cg friend delivered a still birth baby at 8 months old. I have no words to describe this heartbreaking news. I cannot imagine how much pain the parents are feeling right now.
The next minute I know, my gynae's nurse whatsapp me after 4 months out of the blue to ask how am I. What a peculiar / strategic timing to ask me.
What an Irony, one is joy of pain, the other is pain from sadness and loss. I have always known that this is just how life is but to hear and see it before my very eyes is just an awakening.
I think to be pregnant is a miracle, to deliver a healthy baby is another miracle. It made me ponder about my existence and how careful/careless I have been with it. May I always be grateful that I can wake up everyday breathing fresh air and enjoying creativity all around me.
