School At last

Yes that's our baby gal going to school today 1st February 2012. Its unbelievable but she didn't fuss. We got to school, took her to her class and she moved on, we didn't even say good bye and when we wanted to go back  after clearing with administration, we were told it may be best to leave her. When we got home, I cried in the car, not sure why maybe the thought of leaving baby gal in a new environment. My beloved was supportive and said that I assume we have left her with Yvonne our househelp but you know its different. With Yvonne its been 2 years now and this is new but I understood what he was saying and I appreciated.

I called  school one hour later and they are so excited about her..she isn't crying and I was told to release her and let her be and I have done that. Just wondering whether we will ever have enough of letting go...its hard..first we leave them to return to work after maternity leave, then we leave them with the househelps, then we leave them for school and it goes on and on...but there is grace and we shall take it a day at a time. As of now am looking forward to 2.30p.m. when we shall pick her up. Will post better pictures later.

Roseamary, thanks so much for the complement and indeed God is watching over her. Day 2 she cried but am sure she will be just fine. Emma told me to give it 2 weeks so am taking it a day at a time.

My Journey with Caleb's Family

A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...

Househelps

This morning as we drove to work, we tuned into a radio station that had an interesting discussion...yeah you guessed it, it was on househelps.The background was that there is a lady who has helped develop a curriculum for domestic workers in Kenya and the emphasis is on respecting oneself, good grooming, respecting the job one is doing etc. She was encouraging all employers to enrol their domestic workers for the curriculum but many were hesitant stating that they would invest much in the househelps then after a few weeks/days the girls would leave..but she said if all homes trained the domestic workers then whenever they left, then you would receive one who is trained as everyone has played their role. The morning show had 2 male presenters, and two ladies and what caused a stir was that the men asked one lady.." whether she would employ a househelp who was prettier than her? "Would you employ one who's esteem is high and dresses well if you were married" . The l...

Looking back at where I am today and where the 8-4-4 system had placed me, I thank God that He has a purpose and plan for all of us. At times I wonder whether I will be able to tell my kids that I was never in the top 10 position in class. Most of our parents have told us how they were position 1 in their class and I always wonder who was last? Think about it. I envy today’s young generation. Having being raised in Kericho and Nakuru in my younger days, I didn’t know English too well and at 6 years I was speaking broken English. My first birthday was so memorable and exciting in that I could not say birthday and would welcome my friends and visitors by saying ‘welcome to my passday’. Oh well ,thank God that we catch up quick and I went to Milimani Primary and later Nairobi Primary and my report forms would read “ Sylvia is very playful and can do better if she settled down" or "slight imporvement but can do better". Class 8 came and I scored 432/700, and that was ok...
