Unfortunate Week
Sorry for the lack of updates these 2 weeks. So many things happening that kept me busy and no mood to write.
First, Jul/Aug is the global reporting period and my boss & I each have 19 reports to review in 4 weeks time (why other team members have 4-9 each puzzles me?!).
Then, I also have to take care of a major personal Project (a secret)! :p
And the worst is… there were too many crisis happening in my family.
Last week Mon-Tue I felt feverish and not well. Then Wed my grandma fell and broke her leg, scheduled for operation on Mon. Then Sun Ian fever whole day. Mon Ian recovered but Isabel fever till Wed morning 4am only went off (temporarily).
Then Wed morning itself (7am), my sis called - my mom has heart attack at 4am! I quickly sent Isabel to MIL house, Ian to school, then together with my insurance friend we sent my mom to the hospital.
It was a hectic day and I’m glad it is over now. Mom has gone through surgery, recovering now.
Actually I am very scared of losing my mom. I didn’t know that till few months ago, when I put Ian’s car seat with her. I saw her car parked in the garage, door closed shut, and there was no response when I rang the door bell. I went in, she wasn’t in the bathroom, no response to my calls. Knocked her door, no response. I opened and saw her lying still on the bed…
At that moment my heart almost jumped out! I was very scared and for the first time I was worried I might lose my mom any time.
Only when my mom woke up, I felt the great relief.
Yesterday when I was following my friend’s car (mom in her car), I was so scared that I actually cried all the way. Sounds silly, but I never know!

You poor gal..!! but all will be well from now eh..
take care.. and hang in there.. 
Quite a week indeed. Glad to hear that your mom is ok. Be thankful that you have been given a reminder to appreciate her. We often take the people around us for granted.The saddest thing is, we often treat outsiders better than we treat our own family. Cherish everyday, be patient with all the idiosyncracies, tolerate the shortcomings and celebrate every moment. We never know when the final call will come for them or for us. Love fully then there’s no regret of doing any less. Take care!
oh no…it must have been a really stressful week!
Hope your mom is doing fine now.

Suzette,
Just happened by via BlogExplosion. Hope all is well now with you & your family…you’re in my thoughts and prayers. I know exactly the feeling of worry, as my 83-year-old mother has been through quite a bit of surgery but just keeps ticking as they say.
All the best,
Roxy

Glad to hear that your mom is on the mend now. I know how overwhelming the feeling is when it daunt upon you suddenly that that someone are not as healthy as you had thought they were and the fear of losing that someone looms up.
