She has finally learned to say it right. Almost: ‘I love you… infinity… back… infinite times’. I had been telling her this since the day she was born: ‘I love you to infinity and back infinite times’. It’s so rewarding to hear her say it back. My daughter is a talker. She does not stop. […]

‘Have you got any friends?’ That came from a new acquaintance about a week ago. I found the question a bit strange. Who doesn’t have friends? Of course I do! But maybe there are people among us who are alone – be it by their own choice or not. Besides, how many true friends have […]

I don’t think I have ever before thought that I had been at the right place at the right time at the exact moment of being there. But two weeks ago I was fully aware of it. I was the right person to be exactly where I was. At that exact moment in time. It […]

‘We are in prison’. No kidding. I never thought I’d see a message like that from my sister. My sister! Who is a well behaved, intelligent lady, way less attracted to risky activities than I am. ‘You are?’, – I texted back incredulously. I wondered what on earth could a family of 5 do, to […]

‘I wish I had two legs like everybody else. But God must have had his plan. I am happy’. That is the post that I had seen on Facebook. It touched me. Not only because of the person who had said it, who had no legs. But also because only recently I managed to say […]

‘You are the best mama’, – my daughter just whispered in my ear. And even though I know that, many times us, mothers, are so hard on ourselves, often too hard. Hearing her say that simply melted my heart. A few days ago my mom was less forgiving. ‘You don’t look like a 41 year […]

And there she was… To be more precise, there she was somewhere two floors above me. ‘Nothing makes you feel like a woman till you squeeze a baby out of you’, – I announced, an expert after my daughter was born. Nothing makes you feel in as much of a loss untill your newborn is […]
