I love Sundays. It is our family day.
I remember this one time when we’re on the road…
My hubby was driving and I was at the backseat with my daughter. When it’s only the 3 of us, I like staying at the backseat with my little girl so that I could touch her and look at her when we chat.
Like always, she talks a lot. She talks about the things that she sees around, she talks about the billboards that she sees along the way, and whatever things that cross her mind.
When she gets tired, she lays her head on my arms or lap. One time she did that, I kissed her head. And then she said, “Mommy, thank you for kissing me.”
That moment is one of the happiest moments in my life- knowing that my daughter appreciates how I show my love and care for her. I still get a little emotional sometimes whenever I remember that incident.
How many of us take the time to say “Thank You” for the love and care that we get from family, friends, or colleagues? Sometimes, it is easy to forget- especially if it is “expected” of them or when “we’re used to” being treated as such.
But you know what, it’s a wonderful feeling to be thanked and appreciated. 🙂
I hope to share your story next time. See below how.
Have a great weekend everyone! Remember to bond with people today, and not with technology!

Beautiful Nina. I agree, it’s those little moments that often stay in our minds. I remember not too long ago when my son was sick and he said to me “thanks for looking after me mum”. As if I wouldn’t! To hear him say it so sincerely was very special. xo

Yes, did earlier but it has to be running 3 months. It’s only been 2 months when I started this one. 😊 But I will definitely do it once it hits its 3rd month! 😉
