OK, this post has something to do with a New Year's resolution. We all know how those go, but here's hoping that I am able to stick to it.
So a lot has happened over these 3 years. A lot. Some moves were made - both dance and location changes, some additions were made - to the house and to the family, and we lost some things - worthless (well...) and priceless.
It's been a year, but I still can't come to terms with it - Appa isn't here anymore - physically. He's always around us, but he's just not readily available anymore to pick my phone and offer financial suggestions or concerns over how over worked I am. I lost my biggest ally, and nothing's the same anymore. Amma is putting on a brave front, I know she is a strong woman, but it pains me to not see Appa with her anymore. I find comfort in the fact that Appa is still around, reminding us that we need to cherish each other.
But to give me some solace, Appa was there when we added to our brood. There's a BB (Baby boy) now, and that little one has been such a blessing for us. Looks a lot like DD, but behaves completely differently - so far. He's a total Mamma's boy and I love all the attention I get most of the time. I could use some privacy in the toilet, but as I've learnt with DD, this phase does not come back.
That brings me to DD - she has decidedly refused to listen to me, and is growing at a pace I just can't keep up. She always had a mind of her own, and now is more vocal, if that is even possible. She has become a writer of her own accord, publishing stories and poems. She still loves books, although obsesses over a select series. She is getting very close to being obsessed with games on her grandma's phone... more on this in a bit, but since this is seasonal, and only when grandma visits us - I think it's a little contained.
Ady is the same - as patient as can be, and my rock in all this madness.
There - that's a peep into the three years that were. Stay tuned, for a detailed account of all the craziness that's in the details!
