Emotional toll on siblings

I was reading this article written in The Stars yesterday and it suddenly hit me, would both my kids ended up like his brother? Even at the age of 26, he still didn’t know certain basic logic.

After Maghrib prayers, I went out with my family to get my spectacles fixed. I forgot to bring both my daughters bottle of milk. Thus, on our way to the optical shop, my eldest daughter asked for her milk. I told her that I have forgotten and we could probably get something else, like an ice-cream or something for a change. But, of course being herself and plus, she is only 5, she do not understand a single thing uttered by me. She keeps on insisting for her milk and ended up wailing non-stop.

*sigh*

The thing is, of course I wouldn’t know what’s ahead of me, yet. But, I couldn’t help it but to feel scared and afraid of the future outcomes. I mean, surely I am hoping for the best for all of us but I am a normal human being in which I need to get myself ready for what I am going to go through in future. I just want to be mentally and physically prepared! Of course, I would like to think the positive possibilities. Be realistic, not everyday that you are lucky. Indeed, you will need to get the umbrella ready before it rains. And, this is what I am trying to do. I am trying hard to get myself an umbrella!!!

But, the thing is, what is it that I am supposed to do? How do I go about it? Where do I start? I’m like… haih! Erk…
