This lyrics best describe my feelings toward my precious babies ages 6, 4, 2 & 1.

Yes I have a full house!

You hear laughter, you hear screams, you hear cries, you hear whines, meltdowns, tantrums, you name it. I am lying if I say that I am able to face each and every single melt downs, cries, whines and tantrums with grace. I lose my temper at times and I am not proud of it at all.

Despite the overwhelming chaos, me and husband face in raising our precious babies, they are in fact our source of happiness. Whenever I am at my lowest, my babies are there to cheer me up. My eldest, would cup my face and give me kisses, and she would check on me with the question "Okay?" and followed by a big-tight-caress-mama's hair-hug.

The lyric, "You make me happy, When skies are grey" truly fits here.

I too make them happy! (so vain of me) but hey, I am a mother, so of course I make them happy. I know they love me so much and they are not shy to project their love at all. Why am I so confident in this "I love Mama" department? Simply because they love to intrude into my meal times with their tiny little voice "Mama, I want more", or when they intrude into my only private moment, that is a refreshing bath/shower while they frantically knock on the door whining and to a certain extent even cry "Mama, mama, mama" or when they climb all over me as I try to take a power nap, or when they unfold every clothes I have folded. Honestly, I have been robbed from having my quiet morning coffee session after Fajr prayers.

But that is what makes children, children. Sometimes I burst laughing just looking at their priceless expressions, on days when I am calmer. On other occasions I would just keep quiet and continue doing what I do and let them be or perhaps they get a scolding or two.

No matter how crazy the days can be, or how challenging they are, I know that I will love my sunshine(s) to eternity. For that I will always "protect them from harm’s way ,‘Cause I adore them".

Here to my sunshine(s).
