YES, Finally......

YES, Finally...... myself and hubby are RELIEF from the heavy load which we have been shouldering from the moment Alex completed his Form 6, then further his education at UPM in the year 2002, followed by Karen in 2004 and four years later Aaron. It's indeed a heavy responsibility in terms of financial, anxiety, worries, concern, safety and care. 

For those who have been in such a situation you will understand how I feel.  Patience and positive thinking are all that we need to get through it.  I recall having sleepless nights thinking and worrying about their well being - whether they have their meals, enough rest, how they get along with their studies, course mates, lecturers and how they adapt to their new environment, etc.... etc......

The starting years have been rather difficult for me and by the time I get settled in with Alex's away from home, soon enough it's Karen's turn.  Her situation is of more concern as she left for KL soon after she completed her Form 5 and just turned 17 years old.  During long semester break we will make sure that she come home and we are always in constant contact through phone calls.

Aaron, being the youngest gets to study in Kuching and is considered to be the most lucky of them all - not having to worry about food, accommodation, transportation and help as and when needed! But, it's not easy for us either, why??  Well, we watch him through his one year of Foundation followed by four tough years of degree - the struggles, tiredness, stress, sleepless nights, worries, being sick just before semester exam, etc....

It's been 12 long years seeing our three children through their studies.  Throughout these years I have been in constant prayer to God for their safety, protection, guidance and success.  Thank you Lord for your continuous blessings upon each and everyone of us in the family.  I trust that with your constant presence in our lives, everything is made possible for us all.  Praise The Lord, Amen!

Today, with Aaron completing his studies we are free from this part of a parent's responsibility - Education! With the closing of this chapter of his life, he's now looking forward to the next chapter, which is CAREER!

CHEERS to Alex, Karen and Aaron.....
