Wife ❤️ Mom ❤️ Author
Pao carried Brei and placed her on our bed. She was wearing white sando and “Pampers”. He was crying and crying and he repeatedly asked God to bring her back to life, until he fell asleep beside our dear firstborn who passed away hours after I gave birth to her. When he woke up, he was so stunned that Brei was in a different position, and even more so when she opened her eyes and said, “Daddy!”
We’ll go to church today and most likely, all mothers will be asked to stand up so that they can be honored. For a #1007mom, and others like me who were moms for just a short while, it gets a little bit tricky, ‘coz I really don’t know how to respond! 😅 It’s my second year,…
It’s been a very busy time for our pastors ministering at memorial services. It’s a season when people we know, and some of them very dear friends, are going through a time of grief. Sharing some of the many bible verses that helped me through my season of mourning when Berea Dannielle, our first daughter, passed away…
Interesting how some normal questions have become somewhat trick questions to us, and to other parents who have experienced something similar. “If you’re a mom, I’d like you to stand up,” the preacher said.
My short book is finally available in ebook version in Amazon! Giddy but a bit nervous, excited and humbled. And because today is also our dear Berea Dannielle‘s first birthday (both in earth and in heaven ?), you can get it for free from February 28 to March 1*!
Sharing one part of the upcoming “accidental” book where I tell the full story of what happened to our first child, and how God helped us through the season of what could have been a stressful pregnancy, of mourning, how things got better today, and how we can hope with certainty that tomorrow will be…
So… I’m finally sharing this story to the world (wide web). In my old blog (which I’ve reposted here), I posted three entries about our dear Berea Dannielle, her first battle, and her second battle. I wasn’t able to publish her third battle, which eventually turned out to be her last. Brei was our first child,…
Pao and I were working on this 1000-piece puzzle for a while now. Throughout, I couldn’t help but notice oddly shaped puzzle pieces like this one. When we finished the puzzle, I still didn’t know why there were odd pieces, but it didn’t really matter because one thing’s for sure: they’re part of the whole…
In the same ultrasound report where we found out that the cyst was gone, our second battle began.
I actually forgot that this happened! But while I was scrolling through the stories page of our church’s website, I came across the title, “We’re Expecting a Baby!” and clicked it. While reading through it, it sounded more and more familiar, until my name was noted in the end as the writer’s name! Oh, how forgetful!!!
