smittenbyuDecember 14 – Appreciate What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it? (Author: Victoria Klein)
People - I have been so fortunate to have wonderful people, family - friends, surrounding me when I most needed them.So, here are a few of them in the order of appearance in 2010! ;)
1. Husband - just a wonderful man who manages to make me laugh - a lot. He has been so very thoughtful and caring not just this year but through our marriage. He drives me mad occasionally, but no one is perfect, me included (am sure I drive him mad too). But he helps around the house, listens (most of the time), just always there - which I appreciate the most! And he made the greatest labour coach (after the Nurse - afterall she is trained in her job) one could ask for!
2. Mother-in-law - many grumble about their mom-in-laws but I have a cool mom. She was there when I was pregnant and exhausted to care for me. She is so very thoughtful, kind, sweet and enjoyable company to have, especially the days when N was traveling. We survived snowcalypse10 together! Even ventured out in the snow! That truly was fun!
3. Mom - with my pregnancy and thoughts of the future I appreciated mom far more than I ever have in my life! A strong woman who managed two crazy kids globetrotting all around the globe with dad's work. As I play with D and care for her daily I wonder how did mom do it on a daily basis and just thank her for all her work! Having her with me during the whole delivery and the months that followed was just help that one can't put any price on!
4. Dad - I was just ecstatic dad could make it here!! Dad has always done so many things, whether he liked it or not for the sake of his daughters. He always shares tidbits of information that I just find intriguing. It was nice to have him here and share thoughts that were not baby related all the time!! :P And dad found an amazing trick to get D to nap!!
5. Father-in-law - he did not make a physical appearance but he has always been here in spirit. Loving and caring soul always wanting the best for us. He has always shown his care and concern over the phone and shares stories of yesteryears with us so we can pass it along the next generation. And I always enjoy a good story!
6. Sis - she did not make a physical appearance either and this year we have spoken a handful of times, but the times we do chat on the phone she gives a good reprieve from the daily chaos with a good joke that can only be cracked between sisters.
7. Jenny, Hock Yee, and friends here in VA/MD - they have been such nice support to have. They provide such a good break from the daily grind.
I do have to find a way to show my appreciation. But one way I think they also enjoy is to include them in the development of D; by sharing pictures, videos, etc. It's the least I can do for now!
