On Wednesday, 21st March, Idzfan flew back to
Melbourne with 2 suitcases to resettle there and start on a new job. I think he
contemplated almost a year to decide on this next course of his life’s journey.
And it was only towards the end of last year that I told him I was prepared for
us to be separated again. Have to give priority to what is best for him at this
time and when he first told me he had decided to take up the attractive offer I
prayed to God to give me the strength…like
He had given me all those years he was away before.
To think that on 21st March 2015, we were all
excited at the prospect of Idzfan coming home, after 13 long years, to join his
friends in their consultancy at 6ix Design. Even then I knew it
would not be permanent, as I wrote in this blog on 16.9.2016 (Reunion). The two
years and ten months that Idzfan was home was the most eventful and fulfilling
time of my life. All my children were home together in the same house with
three additional members, my son-in-law and two grandchildren. It was a daily celebration of togetherness,
despite some financial limitations.
When he came back in 2015, it was not without any
apprehension that it was a wise move. We just took one day at a time and did
our best for whatever was in front of us. There were days when doubts lingered.
But in time, things came to light. The blessings during that period of two
years and ten months, and we are grateful. This realization keeps me comforted whenever
I start to wish that he is still home as I know this is yet another giant
stride to reach the next milestone.
