The Day They Fly

The Day They Fly

"Hold their hands...as they learn to walk,
Let them go...so they can run,
Cheer them on...so they can fly."

So...today is THE DAY...
For many, this is the start of Waterloo.

My dear kids,
Today is the day, you do your battles...on your own.
But, it does not mean you are alone.
The are still many of us, who sit watch you from behind...in the confidence that you are ready on your own.

I want you to remember this...
You are taking the important big steps in your lives...
No one can totally protect and shield you for what is to come.
No one can fight your wars for you.
Our greatest challenge is...have we prepared you enough to ensure that you can fight, and push ahead?
Are you able to brush off the dirt and start again, should you fall?
Are you able to stand tall and proud, and say..."Yes...Yes! I have overcome."

It is never easy to stay focused and meet challenges.
Some of us are tougher; more resilent, and those who are blessed with special talents, gifts and good brains may be able to have an easier time.
But the point is, we are all different.
Yet...
Push yourself along, and never lose sight of what you want to achieve.
Always believe you are capable of giving your very best.

I am not there with you...
But I am there in spirit.
And I will watch quietly from behind...You are ready.


Prayer for today:
Dear God, my heart and my mind are with the very special people today. Of course, my main concern will be with Zafran, whom I ask that you watch over, and bless today. Keep his mind clear, and fill it with the wisdom and knowledge from your Nur.
There are also my E1 kids who have endeared themselves to me, and my hardworking dedicated lot(who were a little upset that I seemed to have forgotten to mention them the other day.) So please bless Jas,HY,Ayu, JW,YX,QQ, Melody,ZG,TH,Faizul,Shaz,DL,WD,Ros,MY,SQ,Irfan, Az,Md,Shawn,Akmal, Bryan, Mus,AK,Nad,Karen,WC...and everyone else.
