worried unnecessarily

Apr 07, 2009 23:55

Like most of my posts, title says it all. I worried unnecessarily for something, and maybe for some other things which I have yet to know that the worry was wrongly placed, hope I am making sense though, brain slightly blank. >.<. Oklah, I'll get to the point. You see, last Sunday (which is the day before yesterday,) I got to know that my sis-in-law is currently pregnant, I was happy for them (if they are happy about it too) and all, but later when my dad said that, "Oh, the estimated delivery date is the 1st of December? Then Dora cannot go to Singapore lah." it hit me right then and there.
Cut the story short, I was worrying because my idea of the whole thing was that, when it was time, we'll receive a call from my bro or somebody and we'll rush to the hospital and give our support as a family, my parents will get to see their first grandchild, and I'll get to see my nephew/niece; that was my whole idea of it, so...I thought, if me and my mom went to Singapore and the baby is delivered on one of those days, then it would be my fault that my mom missed one of the biggest events in her life...

BUT

After talking with my mom whether if, hypothetically, the baby has yet to be delivered when it's already the time of the convention, whether she would still want to accompany me to Singapore. She surprised me by,
"Oh, I wonder whether I can take that many leaves...", my reply was,
"Huh? You're more worried about taking leaves than the delivery ah?"
"Yeah, since I am working."
"B-but...but, wouldn't you maybe miss the delivery of your first grandchild?"
"After the baby is born, we'll just pay a visit to their house and all mah."

My feeling was like this emoticon, *A*. It was such a shocking news...I never knew it would be that simple, and worrying about the convention all these while was for nothing, lol. But well, I didn't worry as much as I usually would because this time, I was trying to have faith in God and believe that He will make a way, and He seriously told me that there was already a way from the beginning. How humorous, hahahaha. ^o^.

So...thinking about it over dinner at my grandmother's house...I am really blessed with such a family, and such parents where they have sacrificed a lot for me (and my brothers), and they are also ready to sacrifice more in the future. I'll have to change myself on how I act towards them and not grumble each time they ask me to do something when I've already got my own plans. Well...I am trying, lol. And just now, when I thought more on it...God actually did more than my parents, 10000000000000x fold, seriously. And so, I'll have to treat God much much much much much much much better. XD
