Life Now...

Warmest greetings from my family to yours!

A few months ago, my children's "yaya" (babysitter) of 17 years decided to move back with her family and start taking care of her own grandchildren. She came to us when my second child was only an infant. I would not have managed to cope when we lost James had it not been for yaya's strong and reassuring presence at home. She took on the role of "mom" to my kids while I went out to search for our missing family member and worked to bring home the bacon, so to speak.

Our beloved yaya Merlene stayed with us for 17 years.

It has been a totally different life since then. A new journey for me and my kids... a grand time at reviving and redecorating our home... Oh... and I'm cooking again.

My kids... how they have grown!!!

Believe me, it's a whole new adventure for me... Real motherhood at its best!

Proudly "My Home" (Sensational Haiku Wednesday)

This week's theme is:
Belong(-ing)

.......................................

i am truly home

in my room of 14 years

where my heart belongs

my work family
they greeted me with open
arms, such warm welcome!

no matter what you

do, wherever you may go,

home's where your heart is

11 months ago, I left my office of 14 years. I gave away the paintings that decorated my room and heaved a sigh of relief when i put all my case folders in a big box. I took one last look at the diploma and credentials on my wall before I carefully wrapped and put them away.

As I said, that was 11 months ago...

Now I am back in my old room and i brought in new paintings to decorate my wall. The framed credentials are also back. It feels like I never really left the place.

This is where I belong...

This is proudly my home!

Home sweet home!
