A few days ago, my son got his heart crushed by some unrequited puppy love. And as he tearfully hugged me and said , "it actually hurts, ma" ... I hurt with him.
Today my boy gets 9As for his SPM and realises that there is so much more to life than one girl. His happy elation over the phone is my joy too. That girl will soon just be another certificate from his university of life.
Such is life. An unending ebb and flow of happiness and sadness. Of hope and despair and hope again. And always, you are learning.
The triumph of the human spirit comes down to just this one thing - You just move on. Life finds its way. Surely, steadily, somehow.... Life finds a way.
So I raise a glass to each and every one of us, as we trudge on with our private little sadness, joys, hopes and fears that we keep deep inside, that only we know.
And it's timely to quote Dire Straights
"There should be sunshine after rain,
There should be laughter after pain,
These things have always been the same,
So why worry now? Why worry now?”
