So, obviously being the independent young lady that Zoey is, a passport had to be made ASAP. Getting to the office early in the morning to make sure that shes awake, the little one descided to fall asleep as soon as her turn to get the picture taken came. No amount of cheek pinching and wriggling her made her stir. After 9 minutes of being given looks of disgust by the people in line after us, we had no choice but to get a sleepy zoeys picture taken for the passport, just to find out that the madame will be fully awake as soon as we left the passport office building.
One ordeal over, yesterday we took her to the studio to get the visa picture taken. Intrestingly, she behaved well. It took some effort because she still cant hold her head, we had to position her in a manner where she would atleast be stable for 5 seconds. After two successful clicks the photographer realised that one of her ears is not very clear in the picture and the american visa people being extremly finiky, he wanted to click again.
Again we positioned. All ready to hear the “click”, but before that could happen, zoey got hiccups!
And that was the end of the photo shoot…….the ambassy people would have to do with the picture thats already been taken. Afterall how can a ear really effect the visa decision!
Situation:
On the road, two couples, one with an almost 3 month old daughter while the other couple dosent want to even think f a child for another 5 years atleast.
Discussion:
The mother in the car, tells the hubby that the next vacation should be in Italy. (though they dont have the money to go to even Lahore at the moment, but no harm in dreaming). The otheer couple, who have already been to Italy say that we should go to italy without the little one if the plan is to go in another years time. My hubby agrees. Saying that
a) zoey will be too young to remember anything.
b) We’ll have to pay her ticket and everything, without her having any memories from the trip.
c) Its healthy to have time off.
Now the thing is, that I wish I could beg to differ from the hubby, but I dont. What bothers me though, is that do I have it in me to leave Zoey and go? Our parents left us all the time, and infact we used to like that. We would shuffle between nanis house and our house and would love all the attention and pampering and the lovely gifts that would come back.
But I wonder, am I like my mother? Do I have it in me to have fun while I know Zoey is in good hands and well taken care off? Would I be able to have fun? Or would my mind keep on wandering back to Karachi.
There is no vacation in the pipeline yet, but in a hypothetical situation what would I do, I wonder!
You can predict what kind of a husband a man will be, but you can never predict what kind of a father he will be….
He is the luckiest man in the world to have you, Rosie, but he dosent deserve you and you deserve far better. You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you are doing, where you are, who you are with and if you are Ok. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, espically your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy. someone who should have taken the chance to be with you years ago instead of becoming scared and being too afraid to try.
Excrept: where rainbows end
With the new arrivals, seriously space is not that much of an issue!
