I must really thank my kind & extremely understanding boss for granting me no-pay leave despite the current financial climate. Without which, I won't still be holding onto my job after 10+ months (24/7) of 'patience & endurance'-testing but rewarding experience with Vera. As we know, statistically, T18s' first year is the crucial 'deciding' year. I'm grateful that I was able to spend plenty of time with Vera & glad that we've made it this far.
Been telling Vera for the past 3 days that she won't be seeing much of dad (in the weekdays, daytime) but she didn't seem to respond at all until today..... she suddenly started smiling for a minute long. A big smile which I haven't seen for sometime since the op. As always, I only managed to catch the 'subsiding' one by the time I found the camera.
Maybe is her way of assuring me that she will be just fine (if not, even happier since she'll be hearing more of mum's singing) with this minor change in arrangement.

That wonderful smile just assures that all will be well.
She's looking gorgeous..... just saving her great smiles for that right moment.
She is so blessed to have both of you loving her, caring for her... patiently encouranging her... singing and entertaining her.... not giving up hope on her... All the efforts you both have sacrificed shows in every warm smile of Vera's.
Keep it going!!!
All the best to you going back to work, Ian.
It'll be a breeze after the past year. Looking forward to hearing more about our transition and May's and of course, continuing developments of sweet Vera.
