MUMSIE FOR LIFE

The very first delivery (of babies) I witnessed was years & years ago in UK....there was this fairly elderly couple who just had their 'first born' Both husband and wife was hugging one another and crying..and I too can feel the tears well up in my eyes and I too cried with them..
But whether you're in UK or in Malaysia first-time parents are the same...Time and time again I've watched them sheding what I used to tell them 'tears of joy'...but wait I too remind them that they will be more 'tears' to come...when their little ones started to call them 'MAMA'
or 'PAPA' or when they had their first 'physical or emotional fall' you will cry with them!!! BUT WAIT TILL the day comes when your tears flow not from your eyes but from your heart....
The 'little ones' that you've been praying for and looking forward so much to turn around and
'snarl' at you..or says something that really hurts....then those are real tears!!

But whatever your children does your're still their mumsie....once a mumsie you're always a mumsie..If you're a teacher...don't like the students -just resign and get another job or get into another school.. Can't get on with hubby....divorce...This is what I used to tell my patients...if your child become the Prime Minister of the country you're their mumsie....but if they become the Greatest Crook of the country you're still their mumsie....YOU CAN'T RESIGN!!! Once you are a mumsie your are mumsie for LIFE!!!
