FollowThis morning while Cass was dressing up for school, I asked her what cake she wanted us to get for her, to which I got this reply…
“I don’t want any birthday cake. I only want to get healed. What is more important than being healed from incontinence right? Think of how much money you can save on diapers mummy!”
For a moment, I thought I was hearing my own words! Sometimes it’s amazing to see how matured Cass is for her age. What she had gone through since birth and what she is going through now has moulded Cass into a very determined person with high levels of maturity.
In school, in one of those moments when her friends just want to poke fun of her in diapers, she will say this “don’t laugh. What if you have this problem and people laugh at you? If you laugh some more, I will tell teacher!!”, to which this will always shut her friends’ mouths. Despite this issue, she still has many friends because of her amiability and forgiving nature. No one has shunned her out. Her class teacher has even chosen weaker students to sit next to her, so that she can help them. She is also a team leader, overseeing 7 kids in her class. Cass loves school more than anything else. She loves her friends, her teachers and everything about her school… except Mondays. I am so proud of her!
On Cass’ 7th birthday, I pray that God will hear our prayers. Last Sunday, during Easter Sunday at church, I saw Cass praying. For once, I saw her praying so fervently — with hands clasped, eyes closed and lips moving. I really hope that Cass’ wish of being 100% healed from incontinence will come true.
Yesterday, Cass attended her first swimming lesson after a half-year hiatus. The previous swimming teacher (male) was a tad impatient and we saw no progress in her. She had a phobia whenever she had to turn her head up to breathe while swimming, thus, always swallowed water.
The new teacher (female) is extremely patient and good with kids. Cass and I love her, though her charges cost way more than the previous teacher.
At the end of the swimming lesson, Cass was given some marbles. She will earn more marbles if her performance is good for that session. The marbles can be used to redeem gifts from her teacher in future. Cass is so motivated now!
Happy birthday baby girl. Mummy and daddy love you to the moon and back and over and over again!!
