MY MOTHER AND MY DAUGHTER












A FINE TIE. Interlacing into a knot. Binding us together.


*


I'm thrilled and grateful! Thanks sweet Isa for granting us the Gorgeous Blogger Award. This is a kind recognition. For those who would love to be fueled with surprises, armed with fun and infected by her wittiness, please do peep into schlitzohren. ( please do click into the links )

5 questions come with the award:

1
When did you start blogging?
I started blogging in September 2007. At a time I became aware of the fact that iza had rarely seen her baby self in pictures. Her mom was keen on taking pictures but too lazy at printing them.

2
What do you write about in your blog? (what's your blog about?)
A photo journal.
A documentation of iza's growing path.
A record of parenthood.

3
What makes your blog special?
I think our blog is not particularly special. What made us unique is like everybody else, it's the unique context we live in.
If I need to identify a character of the blog, maybe it's filled with trips (both for business & leisure, and study trips from now on).
It may also be iza's unique experience. In her early days, her parents would bring her along for business travels whenever possible and placed her under the conference table in her baby stroller. When she started walking, she was always strolling in construction sites. In case the site was not suitable for a child to wander, she would be in museums or gardens waiting for papa ziggy.

4
What made you take up blogging?
My digital archive of pictures boomed. It became too difficult for me, who rarely organized and did printouts, to browse and share pictures among family & friends. A blog, as a visual organizer, helps me to screen and summarize the pictures. The blog makes revisiting precious moments an ease. The blog grows with our family memories.

5
What would you like to change in your blog (if anything)?
No idea in inducing big changes at the moment. Only wish I could be persistent in keeping the documentary. Dreaming that for a day, iza would take over it and continue THE FINE TIE, knotting US together ...
Maybe some minor attempts.
* Bridging of my double life of being a mother and a designer ...
* Bringing stills into motion ...
* Inviting papa ziggy as a guest author ...

...

I would present this award to two of my favorite blogs by two graceful Japanese mothers.
Peacefully time : Soak into her peaceful space and be lifted by her delightful girl.
Sara smile : Meet the gentle soul and the soothing smile of little sara.
With warmest thoughts to their beautiful country and the future of our children.

LI JIANG II.I - 六伯伯


Before the New Year, we've been to Li Jiang again.
Iza had a great time with her uncle 6 (六伯伯).
They are alike in many ways,
especially they get "hyper" easily ...
Both of them can keep on talking and talking and talking.

My heartfelt thanks to my dear friends and your kind thoughts.
And, thanks to Evelyne for the heartwarming quote :


"When God takes our loved ones is to make them the star of our hope."
Cardinal Journet.

Ziggy, his sisters and brothers are preparing for the funeral of iza's grandad. It will be a peaceful and graceful one conducted in the Christian way. After the lost of ziggy's mama 13 months ago, ziggy's papa came into encounter with Jesus. He had led him through the last year of his life, soothing him from the pain of losing a life companion, and, giving him a promise to rejoice with his wife in the Heaven. Here, we would love to express our sincere thankfulness to our Lord and the church.

Last week, iza and I were sick. Sore throat, aching head and muscles, running nose and fever. Iza was soon recovered but I could hardly get up for a few days with burning throat, stomach and intestines and "crushing bones" ... I'm feeling better and can have solid meals now. I just feel that when I'm getting older and older, it's more difficult to recover ... Take care everybody.

Wish you all fine.

In peace he left.
He seems distant away.
He seems so close.
Always
We see him
In iza's smile.

In the memory of ziggy's father who left us on 4th January,2011.
