幸福 ～ 無國界

Another sleepless night at 37 1/2 weeks pregnant ....

But I can't help losing sleep over thinking of my baby girl who is coming any day now and my sick mother who is losing her battle to cancer after fighting it bravely for two years.

I am in a race with time....hoping my baby girl will enter this world before my mother exits this world, so that my mother can at least leave peacefully knowing that the grandchild she has been looking forward to meet is finally here.

However, everything is out of my control - I cannot speed up my baby girl's journey to make her entrance, nor can I slow down my mother's final journey to make her exit.

I can do nothing but wait helplessly .... for the bliss of birth and the despair of death to collide in the coming days as I make the transition into motherhood. 

So help me God.
