Dear Suri

Dear my daughter,

Yes I am an frightened mother. 

I worry about your health, your brain development, your speech, your steps, your sleep, your nutrition, your cognitive abilities, or your skin rash

Most of all,  I worry about your iimaan and your happiness

Sometimes I wish I could draw for you with my left hand and cook your meal with my right hand in the same time

Or I could charge my power for you only by 5 minutes sleep

No career is more important than you, that I would work for you more than 24 hours a day if possible

But above all those fears, I am afraid that I still fail -- or you might wish to have a better mom than me

The fact that you're growing healthy and happy is merely Allah's blessing and I am just a lucky mom

The True Happiness Guru

                                                Dear Suri

                                                  

It always amazes me how she find happiness in everything. 

She sees happiness in food

she hears happiness in Adzan

she inhales happiness in riding motorcycle 

she finds happiness in visiting Grandma's house 

she even happy when reaching the comb.

She asks nothing but her need:

to eat, to sleep, or a hug. 

She falls asleep easily only by seeing Ibu's eyes. 

Oh my little enthusiastic girl, 

I can't forbid you to grow up, but, 

please stay this happy. 

Let me learn more and more. 

Terang

Mencari terang kini,  lebih mudah ketimbang mencari tenang. 

Akan selalu ada notifikasi notifikasi kecil yang meriuh di pojok tersepi sekalipun. 

Bersama bosan ada damai, tapi kau enggan bosan

Dengan diam kau aman,  tapi kau menolak diam

Ketika bising itu datang,

                         bersimpuh kau

                         meminta jeda!
