Mummy's Musings ~ CR is Amazing! 20.04.10
I went to singapore on Tue a.m just for a night. am back now. it was for a small reunion. Normally CR bawls her eyes out if i go anywhere, let alone away for a night. so since sunday i 'briefed ' her that i would be going away for 'werk' on tuesday. she said ok.. come tue morning i went to her while my helper was giving her breakfast n i said i was... See more going . She asked me a few intelligent questions like, "how are you going, by aeroplane?", ( to which i said no cos she really likes to fly! ) i said by car. She asked me, " Kung Kung's car?" ( his car is parked at our house ) , i said no. "Auntie Julia's car? ( which we loaned a few weeks ago ) I said no.. then she said "our car? I said No.. And she said Our car is okay now? its fixed? ( it had been in and outta the shop for weeks ) I said, Uncle Lim's car! ( our regular taxi driver ). "OH ! Uncle Lim.. I wanna see uncle LIm. U go now Mummy? I wanna see you go Mummy!" ( at this point i was getting worried and imagining the tears streaming down her face and risa prying her off my leg) So me and risa exchanged looks, and I thought, ok what the hell.. worth a try!
She completely mothered me. She said,"have u got your bag mummy? Put on your shoes. Quick.. let's go.. its getting late!"
Then she insisted on holding me hand and leading me to the cab. where she told Uncle LIm to "please help my Mummy with her bag!" and then i opened the cardoor and she says,"Okay Mummy, get in now. U can go now. " (at this point i was the one feeling like bawling!!) so i asked her," are you okay? i can really go?" and she said "yes Mummy u go now to werk. " then i sit down with one leg still out the door, and she lifts my leg and PUTS IT IN THE CAB and says "mind yr leg mummy, mind your leg! I help you. I close your door. watch your fingers! Bye Bye Mummy" BOOM! Car door closes! she closed me in!!
I was so amazed at her courage and bravery seeing her Mummy go. It spoke volumes of the confidence she has and of the great relationship and comfort zone she has with Risa. I really ought not to underestimate her and presume she will cry or not cry or do something or not do something. Time to let her spread her wings a little further and FLY!
