⛅️ A Test of the Heart: Tackling the Role of Caregiver and a Daughter's New Chapter

Hello, my dear friends... It's quite late by the time I finally have time to write this blog post. I have to admit, lately my heart has been troubled and exhausted, facing the major test of caring for a loved one with terminal cancer. As a caregiver closely observing their condition every day, seeing the worsening changes is truly heartbreaking and difficult to accept. Even though I try to accept the laws of nature, the exhaustion and despair still gnaw at me. That's why I've decided to temporarily stop taking my backhoe driving job to dedicate my time fully to caring for both of them.

🫰🏻 An essential routine at Anatta Garden
Even with worries in my heart, daily duties continue. On the morning of March 17th, my husband and I woke up early to take care of the housework and make sure our four-legged and two-legged companions in the garden—the ducks, chickens, and fish—were well-fed before quickly preparing a simple breakfast of fried eggs and black coffee for ourselves and our family. Unfortunately, the rush prevented me from taking beautiful pictures of our breakfast to share with everyone, as we had an important task for our youngest daughter waiting for us.

❣️ A Significant Step at Muang Christian School
Today was "Nong Khaohom's" enrollment and entrance exam day at Muang Christian School. We arrived at the school as scheduled at 8:30 a.m., amidst a warm yet exciting atmosphere. Nong Khaohom had to take both a written test and an interview in English, a skill she is very proficient in and confident about.
The school offers a very interesting curriculum, especially the Intensive English Program (IEP), or trilingual classroom, which focuses on real-life communication. The program is divided into levels based on intensity (e.g., MEP or IEP), and the tuition fees are worthwhile considering the academic quality and close attention from the teachers. After Nong Khaohom finished her tests, the teachers praised her excellent communication skills, which immediately reassured us as parents.

Even though tomorrow presents a heavy burden, both caring for the patients and managing the garden, seeing my daughter's steady, small steps today is the greatest source of energy that prepares me to keep fighting.

More about the Christian City School:
Trilingual curriculum: Typically focuses on Thai, English, and Chinese to prepare children for the global context.
Atmosphere: Emphasizes discipline coupled with ethics based on Christian principles.
Distinguishing features: Foreign teachers easily connect with the children, encouraging them to speak confidently, like little Khaohom.

That's all for today, my friends. See you again next time. Thank you for following and supporting the program. Thank you very much.♥️🙏🏻✨
