If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again by Diane Loomans

If I Had My Child to Raise Over Again by Diane Loomans
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd do less correcting, and more connecting,
I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.
I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more,
I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.
I'd teach less about the love of power and more about the power of love.

SALTBURN- BY-THE-SEA

UCAI AND THE TRAIN


It 's 5th day of Hari Raya, and we decided to spend our time at Saltburn-by-the Sea, as the kids started school the week after. Saltburn is the right place actually for the family to have exciting fun, the kids were very  excited as they had chance to ride the donkey and be on trip in train, and more important, relaxing and peace of mind for mum and dad as well......


CLIFF LIFT OR CLIFF TRAMWAY WHICH LINKING THE TOWN AND THE PIER

NABHAN 12

Dalam sibuk merayakan Eidul Fitri, sempat juga menyambut ulang tahun Nabhan yang ke 12 hari ini.

Menjelang usia 12, saya dan ayahnya mengingatkan Nabhan berkali-kali bahawa dia sedang menyusuri alam  dewasa.

Kawan ayah............

cepat tulis ucai, abang aan tunggu tuuu...........

Daripada umi dan ayah dengan penuh kasih sayang....





Haaa....ni dia, dah siap tulis pun......

Brother 'Super Duper'

 belum berubah, masih taksub dengan games.........

Ya Allah, selamatkan Nabhan daripada tipu daya dunia ini, dan tunjukkanlah dia jalan yang benar dan selamat dunia dan akhirat......

Ucai nak kek Abang Aan ke?



Nabhan, anak umi yang taat, pantang umi buka mulut, Nabhan akan terus bangun bersedia membantu, berkatlah hidupmu, semoga hati dan anggota tubuhmu juga ringan melakukan ketaatan kepada Allah swt. 


Sesungguhnya perjuanganmu masih panjang, mungkin lebih panjang daripada teman-teman seusiamu, bersabar atas segala kepayahan itu, doa umi dan ayah akan mengiringi perjalanan usaha itu. 'Bela'lah dirimu hari ini, agar kamu 'terbela' di masa, kerana umi dan ayah tidak selamanya di sisi begini....

SELAMAT HARI ULANG TAHUN ANAKKU,
SEMOGA DEWASAMU DALAM KASIH SAYANG ALLAH...
