Tracy - it will be better for yr child to wear soft shoes until she is stable in her walking and you can get those hard sole type. Then again like what bblim has say beware of sharp things along the payment and hot weather, the ground will be pretty hot.
If not, you can buy sandals that's what isaac has been wearing instead of of the combi shoes i bought for him. sandals are light and easy for them to walk.
bblim, paternal cousin - death. Hmmmm.... i kw i sound crude if i post this here. Seems like i'm scolding or lecturing seriously I"M NOT la.. in fact, I ponder very long whether should I post anything abt this hahaa..
Just to share la har..I've been thru the depression and i kw how it felt. Is super hard n serious nothing can seems wake your sense up. Trust me is really not easy to talk to a depression person.
However, it is very stupid of him to waste his life like that. His parents will be so heartache to see such a young man waste his life by jumping down. Nothing in this world cannot be solved, just how you do it. If he is in debt, talk to the credit company and ask for grace like installment payment etcs. I'm not sure how it works but i think they also wont want to push you to a corner.
We being parents now, we fully understand how tough our parents went thru bringing us up. And back then they dont have such good luxury like husband being nice to help out or employing maids. Not even help in terms of technology like us having this thread to support each other. But they manage it well then, coz' we all are adult and having our family isnt it?
For bringing him so well, able to own a credit card i'm believe he should have some decent job. coz' of the money matters, he decided to end his life and make those who is alive feel pain for him.
Share this with all, i've went to visit my Godpa's dad few weeks back. On the next bed, there's a guy with tubes in his nose and sitting on the bed playing with his lappy. From his look, i thot he is pretty old probably in his 40s.
To my surprise, that guy is a BOY! he is only 18 years old, he came out to work less than 4 mths wanting to help out in the family then but unfortunately he was diagnose with cancer. The doc told his mom, he may only able to make it 3 to 6 months. But a year passed and he still struggling, dont you feel he is more pitiful. But he dont feel that he is pity coz' he uses all the drive to be alive and make his life worth every seconds he breath, he says he is counting his blessing.
He has never given up and he has also never stopped learning as much as he can while counting his blessing.
Whereas another fellow due to peers of society he just give up just like that. Once again my apologise for sounding so mean here. I don~{!/~}t mean not to feel sympathy to this young man who ended his life. Just that i always felt when someone don~{!/~}t treasure life whereas others trying their best to grab every opportunity to be alive. That's very pity in life. IN fact, I feel very sad for the parents and they must been crying their hearts out and ask what happen.
And yes depression could be hereditary esp if the depression side comes from the mother genes. just to share this, my mom has post natal blues and i suspect that the post natal blues has nvr healed till now adding on my dad's sudden death that robs most of smiles and happy cells in her. My sis also have a post natal blues from the 1st child, 2nd child she is much better.
I have also post natal blues coz' i don~{!/~}t have enough family supports and adding that my dad left me one week before isaac's birth.
Aiyo~{!-~} why I got nothing to post har.. always post long long post like scolding people hahahaa~{!-!-!-!-~} Actually i very mild person lei.
Hey, nobody organize any outing har? Quick someone do lei, so I got a chance to meet more people! Our darlings are one liaoz.. we should have more good outings as they are slightly easier to handle by now right.. and less worries about food etcs.
