Charlene seems to know that. The day before Daddy flew off, she kept awake through the night. She probably was worried that she would fall asleep and miss her Daddy. Unfortunately then, she was sleeping when Daddy left for the airport.
I have been facing an ever shifting biological clock since. I have no idea what time she will be awake the next day.
I thank God for His grace, His protection, His strength. I was able to still manage the housework. Though my biological clock unlike Charlene is very fixed. Sometimes, I just fell asleep because I am so tired at 10+ in the night, leaving Charlene alone. It is really very difficult to be doing anything much with her through the night. I have done rolling and neurosuit at 3am before and fell back to sleep after 2 hrs. It is crazy and I am sure those who have been through the first few months with a newborn baby will understand what I am going through.
When Charlene is awake, she does well in school. She loves going to school. And I am so thankful for that after seeing how her new classmate would just wail loudly and refused to be comforted for half an hour. Charlene will be smiling happily at her teachers and will refuse to sing the "Good Bye song". Sometimes she whined when her teachers said bye to her.
I also thank God for the love and care and concern showered upon me by my fellow brothers and sisters in church (YMM). When I brought Charlene to service, Phemie carried her for me so that I could worship God. And Bernard and Christine helped me baby-sit Charlene while I went for tuition on Sat morning. When I didn't go for service this morning, Wendy and Winston bought me my favourite Japanese food and delivered to my door-step. And Bernard, Christine, Pastor Erick and Shanti visited me to pray for me when they heard that I was having body ache and Charlene vomitted phlegm. I am very touched by the love and care and concern shown to me by them and everyone who is keeping our family in prayers. Thank you all.
