The Mother’s Lair

Welcome to the mother’s lair.

The lair is humble from the start, then it gets even humbler when her child enters the frame.


Now let me tell you what you might see there :


You might see her shoes scattered around because her child always gave it to her asking to go out.


You might see the toys going places because they did go everywhere the child goes; you might see his animal figurines at the far end of the room because he throws them so, very far away and you might find little things hidden under the fridge; bed or anything with spaces underneath for the child to tuck in his small, precious things.


Then comes the second lair is her car. Now the car is her second home then of course it became her child’s second home too.


You will see that the balls are there (so many of them), his slippers; shoes; fresh diapers; wet wipes and anything else. You can also find his hat & his busy board.


But underneath it all, you will see the mother who did her best. In every level at literally everywhere.


To keep the house clean, the fridge full, the groceries running & every need of the household met.


It sure takes two to tango but our contribution is not nothing, right? So please be proud of who you are & what you do. Really believes & really models them too because your child sees and your child copies.


A good and happy mother always equals to a good and happy child. So you take care of the mother, then the mother will take care of everything else.


We will take care of everything else.

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Forever Safe

You’re forever safe in our arms, darling. No  matter how bleak the day we’ve had Or how difficult our day’s been going through. When you cry, let us cry with you, When you laugh, let us laugh with you, When you’re happy let us be happy for you, And when you’re sad let us come to you. Because presence and emotions are essential for growth, baby. Both for your growth, and ours. So let us try to talk our way out, pour our hearts out and just, simply being there for each other, alright? We love you just as much as we love ourselves (if it’s not even bigger) You truly are the best part of us & forever the very best part of me. Pa & Ma loves you, baby. Xoxo.

Year 2 of baby’s life

Oh it is year 2 of baby’s life. It certainly has been filled with so many butterflies. Even though there’s still so many cries, oh it is ever  an achievement that no one can denies! Happiest birthday, my dear boy. May you walk this earth with a humble  heart & an open mind. May you be true to yourselves and speak truth to your world. May you be brave & be strong for whatever  lies ahead and may you be kind and be generous on life; and on yourself. May you take care of you as well as you take care of others. Oh my humble, brave; my kind little one. You’re forever my favorite person, you’re forever in my heart. With love, mama. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 Agustus 2025. Hari Minggu, pukul 1 siang.
