When you are faced with difficulties or at a crossroad, it is always nice to know that your family is always there to support your every step of the way. When I first decided to leave my profession and be a full time housewife, I was thinking how would my parents react. After all that they had sacrificed so that I could go to university and get a good job, suddenly I decided to just stay home. How am I supposed to be able to repay them if I am not earning any form of income. Somehow, I was expecting my parents to react in a different way. I was kind of expecting them to ask me to think it over but instead, they were so supportive of it. They said, if that is what I feel I need to do, then do it. Don't worry about them. They will make do with whatever they have.
I was definitely glad but I have also promised them that as long as I am healthy, I will try my best to provide for them. Maybe I will not be able to provide as much as when I was working full time but I will try. N hubby has also supported my decision on that.
On top of that, I have also decided to inform my mum about the IVF journey. She did ask how the procedure goes. I explained. As she is a massage therapist, she learns from many of her clients that they too did IVF. She found out more about the process. She says as and when if hubby is not around and I need to go to the clinic just give her a ring and she will accompany me. I am truly grateful that my mum is so understanding. She says if we didnt try how are we going to succeed. We can't possibly just wait and pray for things to happen. God asked us to try and not just sit and wait. I know some of our relatives has been making life difficult for my mum - asking when I am going to be pregnant etc. As if she knows? N some of them bragging that their kids who married later are already pregnant and thus they want to book her to do the post natal massage. I am sorry mum. I have tried but I guess Allah has other plans for me and hubby.
Oh and not forgetting my wonderful internet friends. Although we have not met, some of you felt like family to me. You are there with answers when I am in need of one. You are there with hugs when I was down. You were there with a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on when I feel like no one understands. I might not say it very often but I truly appreciate your 'presence'.
To everyone... THANK YOU!!!
