Heartbeat

When I saw the heart beating away strongly, my heartbeat increased and yet there was a sense of relief that all is well. "Lord, we are thankful for this new chance to serve you". May Chin and I still haven't fully got it all together in raising Gareth, and I wonder whether parents ever get a hang of it since every child is different.

No. 2 didn't really make it but God's grace was "sufficient" to get us through. We never expected it both the receiving part as well as the losing part. And personally, I was suddenly speechless and lost in processing the meaning of the ups and downs of losing No.2. And just recently, I heard of a pastor friend of mine also going through a similar experience. Experiencing "loss" doesn't need a multitude of words... "Lord Have mercy"

Mom was very excited when I told her and her joy was just bubbling over the phone. I jokingly said, "You're in charge of babysitting this one!" She replied, "No Problem!" :-)

Now, Gareth is going through intensive training to be the big brother ... I'm sure he'll be going major adjustments. But, for May Chin and I ... we're grateful and we genuinely put our trust in the one who has carried us thus far and will carry us on into the future ... which is full of unknowns ...
