And it all began for me 11 years ago this day.
Your first experience of anything is always memorable, whether it was pleasant or otherwise. Being a mother for the first time was no different, and I was overwhelmed with trepidation.
I was absolutely clueless about childbirth despite reading up intensively on the subject matter. No matter how prepared you THINK you are, you're never quite ready to take full responsibility for another life.
But I'm thankful my firstborn is such a sweetheart and made my foray into parenthood a relatively smooth sailing one, at least for the first few years.
She may not be academically brilliant, but she's a sensitive soul with a great big heart, and that's worth more than distinctions, academic awards and perfect grades.
Thank you so very much for enriching our lives, Xian! Happy Birthday!
