...and then she turned 5!

How do you feel when you see your only daughter, the youngest of your brood of four growing rapidly before your very eyes?

How do you respond when she becomes unsurprisingly more precocious…a tad more curious about the world around her?

How do you react, when your darling baby, day by day, becomes more of a little young girl than the toddler you have been used to all these years?

I know Faith just turned 5 last March 12. But since time flies so fast these days, it seems all our kids are growing up so soon!

Just a couple of weeks ago, our eldest child, Junior turned 18, a milestone age for children in many societies. A question continuously rang on my mind. When did they grow up so fast?!

Faith loves to help out at home

That’s why I’ve always believed that parents like me should never take things for granted. We should always be there for our kids. In the blink of an eye, they have their own lives to live and, by God’s grace, their own respective families to nourish and guide.

I’ve tried hard to resist to wish (if God would grant it!) to make them grow slower. That would have merely been a selfish notion. Rather, I pray to God that we will always remain to be a strong family, loving to one another as we mature in life.

Faith loves to sing (as the rest of our family)

Faith like any regular kid is developing her own set of good and bad traits. In the long run, I just hope that she sustains her loving disposition, an attribute that has truly endeared her to us.

From your loving family…..happy 5^th birthday, Faith!
