Travelled back to my home town this weekend to join in the birthday celebrations of my nephew. It was good to catch up with family, as well as the enjoyable (and exhausting) experience of playing with my (now) three year old nephew. If anything, it reminds me that being a parent is a hard and difficult task, and should not be entered into lightly. However, it is also a very rewarding task and a very honorable task, having the responsibility of bringing and nurturing a new life into this world, whilst at the same time having one’s own life affected and enriched by this new life. I am now very very tired, and just want to sleep.
