The luckiest creature

We many times don’t realize of wonderful things we’ve got as gifts that other people might not have it. Or some other time, we are too busy find things outside to make us happy, but once we must experience when we thought we don’t need to find those because it’s actually in front of our eyes. Couple days ago, I had the experience when I again… grateful for what I’ve got. As Mom and a teacher I’m quite busy every day. Having very tight teaching schedule which makes me many times away from home. I usually start teaching early around 8.00 am and finish about 20.00 pm. Practically, I have very limited time to spend with Anabel. Deep inside I want to take her out on weekend and having time together on a picnic or taking her to children’s game station but I couldn’t. weekend is the most busiest day for me, I have to take care my “free English course” which I open only Saturday and Sunday. Though, Anabel seems to understand it well, but still I feel guilty for her that I don’t have one special day to spend. Every morning I always take my daughter to school before going teaching, even though only drop her off (never stay around or wait) but I’m trying to always do it. Last Friday, I did but I decided to stay for awhile. I parked my motorcycle and watched her from outside the school’s fences. That day she would have PE (sport subject), and from a distance I could she her with her friends were about to have it. I was sitting alone on my bike and wondering what movements would they make. I watched them and…. Seeing my lovely daughter doing her exercises. I could see her,….. the way she moves her arms, legs and body, the way she did a little jump and those mistaken movements of hers. She was smiling, looked very happy doing that with her friends……..and while sitting, the strange feeling of happiness captured me when Anabel looked at me in a distance for just a glance. That time I found myself as the luckiest creature for having a chance to see those wonderful moments. It had given me one understanding which is make me not to worry of those limitation that I have for her. I was positively sure that what we had this morning was another gift.
