This one's for the children

I'm realising more and more, just how much I've 'grown up' and how quickly time is passing by and life is coming at me. I never could imagine hearing myself declare that I'll be turning 27 this year (not that I didn't think i'd live this long!), but that time just seems to have come too fast!


(L) CNY w/ my Goddaughter Elysia. (R) With my half siblings and niece.

As time passes, I realise my responsibilities are varied. I'll be a Godfather in a few weeks time, and during this CNY, I got to see a niece of mine that I only met once before this; and coming to grips that I'm an uncle hasn't previously sunk in either! I see the people around me who used to be younger, and I see them with children and all, I know i'm getting OLD.

But these are all roles that I relish, irregardless how alien it initially feels. I've also improved, being around children, since I became a Christian. I definately am not ready to care for them on a full-time basis yet or handle them like a kindergarden teacher can, but at least they don't run away from me now, and I don't act like a total clueless idiot when they're around either :) Besides, being around them teaches me a lot about myself and it helps me better my personality. In short, they make me a better person.
