How Can I Not?

Last night, little one's laptop broke down...the despair in his face, I cant help but feel sorry, poor boy. He is alone in the house, besides me, as big brother is in Univ. The laptop is his life line to socialise with his friends, to play games and to do his design and drawing activities. Abah says nothing doing until after PMR...Aduusss.....I dont have the heart to deprive him of his laptop as the laptop is much more than a mere tool for him.

I just can not let him be without a laptop...so just to query...if the screen is broken (a bullet from his m16 or whatever gun he uses bounced off and hit the screen, puncturing it) can it cause the whole laptop to totally break down? it just shuts off like that...not responding to anything at all.

Then at 8 pm today, big boy phoned, his voice shaking. The heavy rains have flooded his 5th floor room at the university accomodation, drenching his books and possibly his mp4 and other things. He is desperately trying to mop the flood using old newspapers, but at the moment the room is not so liveable. On top of that he is drowned by all the assignments due within days of each other, plus over the weekend he has a compulsory university programme to attend when he has already made plans with some friends. There is just no time for him to compelete assignments and do the household chores, one or the other has to be compromised. So he calls to ask can ummi come to Nilai and take home his dirty laundry? ?First time he is asking.

I just can not let him be so stressed up like that. The demands on him are high, one time he is asking me a favour to help him out.

2 boys; 2 problems that are disturbing their peace of mind. Both asking ummi to pitch in and help out a bit.

I am their mother; they are my life....How Can I Not ...Oblige?

Anything boys...anytime...as best as I can ...Inshaallah

To quote the words of one of my esteemed brothers, "I am addicted to my children"

sleep has eluded me...yet again...
