Erin shared this piece with me today, taken from Tampaybay.
Caution: It’s a long read, but worth every second of your time.
Part One: The Feral Child
PLANT CITY — The family had lived in the rundown rental house for almost three years when someone first saw a child’s face in the window.
A little girl, pale, with dark [...]
“Hello Mam! Where are you from?”
“Oh hi! I’m from Malaysia.”
*frowns* “But you look Chinese.”
“I’m a Malaysian Chinese.”
“Oh, no wonder. Because I know Malaysians have darker skin.”
This sort of conversation goes on every time I go out. The slight variation is that they think I’m Korean or Japanese. I respond by smiling politely, and refrain myself [...]
Will update more AFTER the event and (hopefully!) with some pics to go with it!
Have a great Saturday ahead, all of you!
Even the tiniest of specks doesn’t escape her small chinky eyes – lint, scab, bits of paper.
I see the mouth chewing and chewing, and I remember nothing like giving her anything to chew about. This is a prompt. A sign. I need to go to her (again!), stick my right thumb and the index finger [...]

My next card will be a congratulatory New Baby Boy card due next month!
Happy Mothers’ Day to me.
I’m looking forward to Thea’s handmade cards & crafts in the years to come – kiddy handwriting, colourful crayons, mispelt words…
Today marks the second year I am celebrated a mother. I hardly acknowledged it last year, as I hardly felt like a mother at all, having given birth only a month [...]
I love all most things English – English tea, English accent, English weather (!), English pastures, London shopping, English literature, English dry humour, The West End, and the must-see English musical, My Fair Lady.
My Fair Lady was the first musical I treated myself to in London years ago when I was a poor and struggling university student. It was hillarious. [...]
Love is not a choice, it is a command.
Jesus lifted the standard higher, that is, to love, even, your enemies.
