There are stories (real-life stories) that I have become way too familiar with and I let them lose their essence, beauty, magic, and impact on me. Some of these stories are an important part of my life (stories that just can't be taken out of the equation). They show us reasons to be thankful and appreciate life even more! This could be is one of these stories!!
I have become way too familiar with this story and I let it lose that magical feel and touch which it is supposed to have. I let myself miss out on those moments when she shares this story with me!
What Is This Story I am Talking About Anyway?
Don't worry, I won't be telling you this story every year. Lol!
Well, Joy and Arhyel were the only kids my parent had planned on having, the reason being that giving birth has always been so hard for my mum, with complications here and there (but she always manages to pull through).
And so, after having my brother, Arhyel, that was supposed to be the end for them!
Even though my parent were so happy, fear filled their hearts, they didn't know how it was gonna turn out, they were scared both my Mum and I won't make it but well, they decided to pull through with it!
After 9 long months of waiting and frequent visit to the doctor, the day came! She went into a painful labor for more than a day with no success at all. Well, the doctor met my Dad who was in "panic mood" at that point and suggested a C-section. Well, that seems like the safest option they had at that point but even that "safest" option left my Dad with little hope.
But, he held onto that glimpse of hope, prayed and hoped it will all turn out well. It was a tough one but we all survived, thank God!!❤😊 That, I am so grateful for. My mum is sure a fighter!!
Today, I really want to "unfamiliarize" myself with this story, let her speak out, feel the emotions, share this beautiful moment with her, and celebrate this beautiful daughter of hers (which happens to be me😊😉)
I can't imagine how sad she feels every time she notices how absent-minded I am while she shares this story but she never stops sharing! Because to her, it was a special day so also is it to me but somehow, I always live out this part on this day.
I forget that without it, my story wouldn't be complete. I forget that that is when it all began here for me, with that first cry after my Mum have had to endure all the pains (and had to still endure pains after the baby was born).
It was unplanned, but it definitely ended up adding beauty to their lives. Unexpected but love still flowed from them. Its amazing how the unplanned events in our lives ends up being our best moments, isn't it?
As a child, whenever I ask why they had to "tear up" Mum's tummy to get me out, they say "you were shown the way but you refused to follow it". 🤣 And with my little mind, I will argue and say, " No, no one showed me the way, I would have followed it if someone did, I am sure of that. The person showing the way lied🤣". My little mind...
Probably an unusual birthday post but I did enjoy writing this and I do hope you enjoy reading...
Much Love — Audrey❤

Hahahaha they showed you the way but your naughtiness and stubbornness wouldn't allow you to find the way. Hahaha. Happy birthday, dear. Your story is really a miraculous one and I am glad you are loved nonetheless. What a special lady you are. Now I can see why you are a little weird too hahahaha.
😀 hahahahahhah! Come on, I am not that stubborn...
Am i really weird? Well... Maybe that plus other things made me weird...😀
Hahahaha glad we are on the same page on this.
Hahhahahah! Could this be the only time we happen to be on the same page?🤔 uhmnm... I doubt... Lol!
Hahahahaha i think this is the only time. Fingers crossed sha
Really? Hahahah! Well, maybe it will change from today...
Exactly...your weirdness will always kick in. Hahahaha
Happy Birthday! And what a story, thank goodness it ended so well! I think your family bond will be that little bit stronger from the whole experience.

Thanks so much, Coff33a!! Yeah yeah, so happy it ended well too.... Yeah, it got strong, just that my brother was sulking then.... Because he had lost his "lastborn" tittle...🤣

Thank you so much, Dean! I am so glad to have bumped into you too... 🤣
Not sure it will be me acting that way, twice should be enough for me. Another story I am probably too familiar with is their love story. My Dad told me about it like twice or so and my mum, I just can't count how many times🤣. All it need do is ask for a little detail about their past and I will hear the story all over again....,😀😂

I too would like to apologize for forgetting your day of honor.
Please, forgive me...
Nevertheless, albeit late, I wish you all the best for your new life year, much health and happiness on this shaky earth.
The birth story of your mother and you has moved me deeply...
Please, send her my congratulations that she has given you this life.
Best regards and God protect you and your family.
A dear greeting from Scorpio to Scorpio
🤗 Thanks so much, Alberich! Its never too late to send birthday wishes, if you ask me😊. I will be sure to send your congratulations to her!
Amen!😊🤗❤
happiest year to you, my darling!!! :)
My daughter was a "surprise" too - the final child. hehehe and I can't imagine my life without her! simply can't!!!
what a blessing she is to me!!
Three children born to me - but only the first was a C-section. I was laughing at how you were trying to justify that no one showed you the way out! hehehehehe
and closing our eyes to the pain... and bland food tastes nice.
hmmmm thinking of these things :)
yes, pain still lurks even behind closed eyes...
but think of what a connoisseur you are of food now..... hehehehe because you know what true flavor is LOLOL
WAFERS
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
oh my gosh - i still laugh at that story LOLOL
love to you <3
Thank you so much😊❤🤗 That surprise came to make everything so so complete, what a blessing!
🤣😂 sure I do know flavors now
About bland tastes, what happened was that Mum was supposed to feed me then, I guess I was about 3 by then and then she realized that she has sent my brother to get sugar but he still wasn't back and well, I was hungry so, she decided to feed me the oats without sugar or any sweetner, I tasted it and I threw it away and said "its not sweet" mum then said close your eyes, it will taste good, I did and nop, it didn't so I said "I close my eyes, I close my eyes but it still doesn't have sugar in it". They tease me with this till today. Lol! I had to wait for the sugar....
And the pain own was when I had to take an injection, they told me same but It didn't work, some of my friends even said it worked for them, so I left wondering that maybe I haven't been doing the " eye closing" well. 😀🤣😂
