Igo always loves the swing. Months ago, the only way Igo enjoyed a swing was by a regular sitting & calm movements. A sudden shook would freak him up, he would instantly jump out off the swing.

Today (07/23/09) something really surprising happened. He climbed up the swing with confidence. He rocked the swing quite harsh [...]

Today, May 29 2009, We are only six days away since Fajar’s blood sample was sent to the lab to get his viral load tested. The method they use should take up to three weeks, with additional days we should have the result paper within one month.
Well, maybe they have changed their mind to use [...]

Love has been compared to many things,
from sunset to flowers;
But for me,
Love is simple.
It is you. Always,
always you

My first born son was confirmed Autistic last year by his pediatrician who specializes on children with special needs. Based on his diagnose and the therapist’s observation, Igo must take the therapy class to make him feel comfortable in receiving inputs. After that he can continue to other therapies and treatments to help him to learn, talk and/or even socializing. And it will not be anytime soon…
The more I see how Igo lives his life, I feel that in a way, he is a lucky special child. He could choose on few things he want to concentrate on and forget about the rest. If you see that Igo spends most of his days smiling, you get the feeling that the world he knows is a beautiful world without too much complications …

I closed the year 2008 almost uncelebrated. My husband was hospitalized since Christmas Eve with multiple complications for two weeks. In July I opened in this post that the year 2008 was probably the worst year since I was born. It might be a little late to post an article about last year when most people already get use to put 09 on every end of the date they write. But I owe it to my self and especially to the year 2008 to list every blessing that I got, like I wrote at the end of that article.
The Year 2008 was not the happiest year indeed but certainly the most inspiring one. That was the very year I found again the meaning of friendship.

Hon,
Do you remember that day when our eyes met for the first time? It was one hot morning with a set of eyes I will never forget. That day, that very second, I claimed you as mine. Yes, as crazy as it may sounds, that moment I said it clearly in my head,
“It’s him”
Hon,
Do you [...]

Since we moved to the new home, an apartment unit 1 floor above my office, on August 2 2008 , I have lunched at home more than I used to in 1 year. The lure for having lunch at home are 3 gorgeous angels by the name of Jeremiah Indigo Divine (Igo), Zipporah Imogen [...]

We don’t talk much, me and Nila. Gosh, she’s that kind who will disappear in 6 months and call you almost midnight and say “Hi… I’m in this deserted island somewhere on the map but too tiny to see.”
And of course, when she IM-ed me today and then call on the generosity of the United [...]

2008 has not been a great year for me. It is probably one of the worst since I was brought into this world. And it is still in July.
2008 has been the year where my strength is being tested to the very last bit of its thread.
In the early days of the year, we got [...]
