Mr Dad and I have been working together for various projects ever since we got married 17 years ago. Even though we have so many differences, I believe that’s what makes us a great team cos we compliment one another. Hence we have both always enjoyed working together so much! Unfortunately when my health started to decline 8 years ago, I haven’t been able to join him that much - just supporting him from behind.
But last year when we came to view #TheOldForgeCottage 🏡 and fell in love at the first sight with this period property, I have been dreaming to work alongside Mr Dad and his team. Of course I wouldn’t think that it would be possible considering my poor health condition. Plus last year alone, I had to go through 2 long bad episodes until I couldn’t even speak. But then I planned and Allah planned…and indeed Allah is The Best Planner!
Yes, all praise is due to Allah The Almighty for making my dreams come true to project manage our dream home alongside Mr Dad. Don’t ask how I do it cos I don’t have an answer to that but miraculously, one day I just went out of the house and did it. Of course the process isn’t easy but it’s all worth it. With a few hiccups along the way plus 2 incidents where the team almost had to call an ambulance for me, Alhamdulillah, I managed to push through in the end.
The most important part of this reno-journey is that it finally makes me feel normal again. Plus the fact that I’ve got to work side-by-side with the love of my life - Mr Dad - makes me enjoy every bit of the process very much! And having to witness the result of our hard work really means a lot to me.
On top of it all, a big fat thank you to my husband - Mr Dad - for all his hard work and of course, not forgetting my dear sister Dr Auntie for her endless support and for believing in me. I guess these 2 important people plus my 3 amazing children are some of the main reasons that have driven me to never give up…
Blessed,
Mrs Mom
