Hope you make me hold you a little bit more
I promise to let go once your friends show up the door
I know I can not stop time from passing by so fast
So while no one else is looking this way
Let me hold your hand my son just a little bit more

Hold My Hand
Hope you make me hold you a little bit more
I promise to let go once your friends show up the door
I know I can not stop time from passing by so fast
So while no one else is looking this way
Let me hold your hand my son just a little bit more

Late Bloomer
It was in the begining of our marriage (almost 13 years ago) that I developed an extraordinary interest with books. I was in my late 30's and I find it unusual because I really never had the inclination for books while growing up. It was through the influence of my sister-in-law Chari and my growing desire to read to my daughter Ali that I started to buy books. It was a delight for me to receive books as gifts from Chari. They were books on parenting and women empowerment.
I didn't really grow up being surrounded by books. I don't even remember owning a story book when I was a child. I only had the text books that were used inside my classroom. And because I was more intimidated with big words rather than ever being enthralled with stories, I stayed away from books.
Today, I delight myself with every treasure hunt for books from the leading bookstore to the ones that sell second hand or in booksales. It is through reading that I understand myself better. I begun to put words and understanding to my feelings and experiences. The fun part of it all is that at my young age of 42, I enjoy children's books and the cool teen books. But what I mostly love are books that inspire me to be a better mom. I am a sucker for those topics. Aside from parenting books, I enjoy reading about women empowerment, manners and etiquette,true stories of courage and valour. I devour myself with all that could develop myself intellectually, spiritually and socially. I sometimes wonder why I didn't have this thirst for knowledge while I was still n school. Wish I could go back and bring with me the enthusiasm for learning. Wow! Maybe I could change the course of my life. I feel I am such a late bloomer... but God's timing is perfect. With Him, not a day is wasted. So, I celebrate my passion to learn everyday. I believe that as a mom, I hold the greatest influence with my children. I am just grateful that I can introduce them to books, to learning, to endless possibilities.
