My princes

Seeing my children playing together (even though the twins do not know how to play with their Kohkoh yet) can easily make my eyes fill with tears…tears of happiness. Seeing them playing and laughing make my worries goes away easily..no wonder there is a word saying “children are hugs from heaven” and I agree 100% with it.

But you know what breaks a mommy heart? Well I can’t say on behalf of other mommies but I believe they agree with me if I say seeing their children crying when they papa or daddy or father goes to work/out leaving them behind. It really breaks my heart when Josh cried and begged his Papa not to go out that day (hubby was working last Sunday).

Hubby tried to explain to little Josh that he needs to work and promise Josh that when he’s back from work, he’ll bring him out. Josh answered hubby this “My Josh follow papa work ok?” and asked his papa to carry him and hug him close. I can see hubby tears as mine had started to drop. I had to take Josh from hubby while Josh was crying loud to his papa.

Hubby left to work sadly. I calmed Josh and tell him that if he stops crying, mommy promise to bring him to his Kohkoh Brian house that night. It took half an hour for him to stop crying and asked me to call his papa. Luckily, after talking to his papa, Josh back to the cheerful boy I know.

My Josh

See how tight he holds his papa? I took this photo so that we won’t forget this day. Unfortunately, that is not the only bad event happened that day..I broke my Lange Sohne watch, a gift from hubby for my birthday last year :-(

    Ohhhhhhh….pooor Josh…yeah I know what you mean…it would definately breaks my heart to see if Ethan starts to cry when we go to work too….

  2. When I was a little kid myself, i also cry when my dad went to work. There was one time, i cried and didnt want to let my dad go but of course he had to go lah. Mau half and hour oh baru i calmed down. But I think dad kept thinking about me crying at home, he came back home with a new blue dress bought especially for me! Happiness.

    I guess that’s how I relate your feeling as to what my dad was feeling that time. Sampai mau beli barang so that he wouldnt feel bad leaving me behind for work.
