Sunflowers

I received a sunflower today for my birthday from a significant person.

And that made all the difference.

It was exactly what I wanted.

I'm very, very touched and blessed.

Thank you.

Another bright spot of the day - mom is finally back home! She can see albeit with squinty eyes until she has completely recovered. She says thanks for all your prayers and concern.

It was nice sitting at the dining table, having tea with my dad, mom, and bro just now. Dad and bro updating mom on the current Korean drama's latest twists and turns. Dad showing me the latest air ticket prices at Matta which made my eyes turn even bigger than they already are. And us trying in vain to help mom who heaped oodles and oodles of sweet marmalade on her crackers. She couldn't really see clearly with sunnies on her eyes mah. Dad mumbling something about contracting diabetes and such, and us defending mom and switching on the lights so that she can see better.

Ah, that's a typical tea-time scenario for the Coolcat family.

And it's good to have mom back home again where she belongs.
