A young man with a baby

Does the image of a young man so tenderly play and care for a toddler just warms you heart? And this young man, who was then in his mid-teens with his youngest sister who only came along when he was 14 yrs, is actually the godly young man that i would be wedded to in just another 20 days. I would not have known of this if not for the pictures of the past he had sent me to transform it into gifts for loved ones.
Personally, i have been digging up old picz and scanning them in for Josh's Uncle Andrew who had been so kind to offer to make us a powerpoint to be shown during the reception. There are simply heaps of pictures and the amount of dust is like a few centimetres thick!! And whenever i go into picture finding and scanning mode, for the next few hours anyone can find me buried under stacks of albums, either laughing or even looking sad, while reminsicing the past. Can't believe that all this jsut passed within a flash of an eye...and as God said in His Word,"As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.For the wind passeth over, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more."Ps 103:15,16
Having spent hours looking thru these pictures, i realised how much our parents reali loved us by spending so much time to take us touring around, going for outings, taking so many picture, arranging great birthday parties for us, spending time putting them into albums with hand written headings. Sometimes iw ish time can turn back and i can re-do hurtful things that i have said or done to them to actions or words that are loving and edifyin. Even till now, with the strength of God and under Josh's encoauragement, i'm trying change that bad habit ....its still quite alot of effort as thats reali how i'm so used to behaving with them ever since i can remember.
However, with the wedding coming up real soon, i'm starting to sense the change in relationship with my parents...I'm able to talk more like an adult or fren to them ....but there are still many times they jsut refuse to wan to let me speak tis way....I wonder if its our chinese culture that nurture such nature that the parents want their children to be with them as long as they can...Then again, when they suddenly realise that you are the onli single marriageable age adult in the family tats not attached...they start naggin and comparing you to your cousins' who are attached or getting married etc (thats what happening to my poor beloved cousin even tho she just in her early twenties)

I'm half ready and half not ready to go....time spent now is completely packed as i busied with getting last minute wedding supplies, my own stuff, gifts for pple, arranging the wedding with Josh, packing , spending more time with family, frens and dogs before i leave....Be back in Jan...hopefuli can meet with pple that i have yet to meet this time and others too...of cos with my new beloved husband, Lord willing...=)
