A Year With Darius Jan-Dec09

Posted Under (Everyday Life) on Wednesday, 6 January 2010 at 5:49 pm

This is supposed to be a post for end of the year 2009, but well, never too late I supposed.

Below is a summary of the Year 2009, the most memorable days we had gone through with Darius which we had fortunately recorded them on this blog of happy memories. It’s a good list for us to reflect on every new experience we had created with Darius and he with us. I’m glad we got most of the ‘First Times’ recorded. For the later months, I felt some posts were rather significant (like when he first started climbing the stairs) but there were only videos in the posts, hence I had to choose others. Click on the pictures to view the posts we wrote if you are interested. It is a long post ahead, so click to Read More…

Thank you everyone for supporting Our Baby of Love Blog. We are really awed by the fact that people actually bother to read about us and the things we do. We never expected something personal to us to grow so big. A big hug of thanks to all returning readers and commenters!

Even if one day, we would have no reader because our child had grown and things are getting boring, I would still be writing unless we decided that our lives should not be in public. Even then, I think I may still keep a private one because I just so love writing! Writing as a record of our memories, writing so we can look back just as we are doing now in this post, full of feelings and remembrance for each event that occured. Never for fame or anything, just for ourselves.
