The family - this month

Amazingly, we will be coming up to 10 years of marriage at the end of this year. How time has run by. Flown by. Streamed by like the billions of photons from our local star, flying out into space.

As I write Asha is practicing her violin. Sheba - after seeing a number of patients in the morning and working with the staff in the afternoon and then cooking dinner is reading a book - in between fielding phone-calls from concerned parents about the swine flu (she is Asha's PTA class representative) and home-work. Enoch was looking over my shoulder 2 minutes ago - but has run off to look at his lego toys.

We are coming to the end of the day. Another day lived together. It is not always smooth sailing, but the what a blessing to live this common life. Or should it be this uncommon life.

  1. Congrats on near-10 years together and a wonderful family photo. That Enoch looks like he has his dad's energy. A lovely bunch. the four of you.

    Hard to stay awake and aware to life, our children, our inner selves, calls to service and to keep sane/keep a sense of humor at the same time. Joy in the journey
