“Mummy, braid my hair” said one of my teenage daughters practically every school day morning this year. Harried from having to wake up early to prepare their breakfast and snacks for school, I should mind having to do this additional chore but surprisingly I don’t.

It gives me pleasure to braid it for her – a simple one, nothing fancy and she is still pleased with my basic braiding skill. Our personal time together in the morning albeit too short and often in a rush. And I figure soon enough she will outgrow this, as teenage girls are wont to do. Until then, I shall cherish this moment with my heart.

Love February
