Gabe`s cousin Sebastian and Esther GuGu is here too. We had a lovely Xmas eve dinner at Yokohama eating seafood!! Mummy`s favourite and she`s been saying she hasn`t had any since Singapore. In Japan it`s hard to find a buffet that incorporates fresh seafood like prawns and oysters, Not sure why especially since their prices aren`t cheap anyway. Perhaps Japs aren`t so favorable towards seafood??? We had another guest joining us, Uncle Justin. Yummy yummy dinner it was
The other day i brought both kids to Skytree to just walk around after Gabe`s doc appointment. Packed it was but think both kids enjoyed themselves
And we went for a short trip to Mt Fuji too
2012 is coming to an end and it`s been a great year. All because of this lil boy Gabe. He`s filled us both with so much love and joy, i can`t imagine a life without him.
I used to pray that God could make his DownSyndrome go away...how silly now that i think back. I mean of course i believe God can perform miracles. But sometimes, there are some that God just can`t do away and maybe it`s because He knows much good comes out of it. So now, i wish and pray that GAbriel remains healthy, happy and grows well. I pray that he overcomes his shortcomings with strength and determination. I pray that he will be independent to live life on his own after both Terry & I have gone. I hope that one day, he becomes someone useful to society and helps others to see that life with DS is not a burden or barrier.
In fact, I`ll be realy honest with you. I have never felt that him having DS has been a burden. Truly....all the therapies n all, i can cope. His slowness at learning...no problem..i can cope. What i cannnot cope with is his heart problem which seems so much more major. The worry if he`s ok, can he breath properly, is he turning blue due to too much moving around, the medication and the dreaded operation.
Him slow at learning to walk or crawl, is OK. It just means i get to Baby him a little longer:) And you know what, he learns quite fast especially for songs and actions...and has so many funny actions you just can`t help but laugh.
Oh Gabe Oh Gabe......stay happy and healthy, dun ever scare Mummy yah.....
We love you so much, you`re our WORLD.
In case i don`t get to post anymore postings due to our trip to Hokkaido, and advanced Happy New Year to all!!! Happy 2013
Yes, God knows what He is doing. Gabe had been a great blessing and we all really love him. We will pray for his upcoming operation, that God will watch over Gabe. We thank God that you and Terry have both been very strong.
