Bless This Mess

Couple days ago, my father in law fainted and got to be run to the hospital, my sister in law had to take care of him by herself while she was also busy working at her thesis. By the way, her thesis deadline is by next week.

My sister in law wanted to give Babu (that’s how we call my father in law) full attention. However, with the deadlines, and with her son around who is still a toddler would be so challenging for her to remain focus. Therefore, she called and asked whether I could help her, and I agreed to help tomorrow. I may stay there for couple of days to accompany her taking care of Babu and her son.

Actually, it is quite challenging as well for me. First, we just arrived from a long vacation and our house is such a big mess. Currently, I am still awake to clean our house before leaving to Babu’s house tomorrow.

Second, my daughter and the son of my in law is in a super active phase. This implies that tomorrow I will prepare myself to babysit two most active babies. I will drink some supplement and bring some workout outfit to enable me to move flexibly.

Third, unpack to pack again. Last time I spent my evening to unpack all the luggages we brought to Bali. Tomorrow morning I will pack again to stay in my in law’s house. I think I am becoming better with packing and unpacking.

I have to remind myself that tomorrow, my in law’s will be my first priority. They are the ones who need me the most at this very hours.

It will be a tough day tomorrow, but I feel honored to be able to be there for other people, especially my closed ones.
