Growing Pains
Last weekend hit me how painful growing can get. ~23 October weekend We're still 46. Seeing the kids small wasn't that distant memory. Memory of bringing Qaisar to kindergarten in my old trusted Myvi still freshly etched. Qaid got into boarding school when Covid-19 strike, with the memory is still fresh to many. Yet, I have started to feel that things are slipping, kids are growing at an obscene rate. 5 years passed like a flash. Secondary school years are indeed the fastest period of your life. You have kids changing from kids to adult. They grow up further from you, and yet it's the life you choose, for them to secure themselves a better future. It doesn't mean that other schools are bad, but given the circumstances, they will and have indeed do better than what they would if they hadn't. The opportunities, the chances, the exposure. No regrets of sending them. Don't think we did too badly either with them being far away. We travel to see them every 3 weeks...
