Emotions Galore!!

It is tears of joy that glisten my eyes. Whenever I look at Valerie, whether she is asleep or awake, a huge wave of emotion envelops. It just wraps up my heart and it squeezes every ounce of emotions and feelings to become tears.

I'm a person who does not cry easily. Ask anyone who knows me well enough... even my parents or even Paul has not seen my true emotions very often, No amount of sadness, happiness or any kind of extreme emotions in my life will make me tear. And this, I think is because I guard my emotions very tightly - so no one sees it.

But the funny thing is, I cry easily when I'm reading a book or watching a movie that is filled with emotions. I'll sob like a baby, and tears flow easily and uncontrollably. Paul mentioned to me before saying "It's weird to know that you're a person who doesn't cry easily but yet can sob like mad just because someone said a romantic line or some animal died in a movie".

The first week after I was discharge from the hospital, I realise that I couldn't stop crying. Even if it was in front of Paul and my mom. Looking at my princess, sleeping soundly having her own sweet dreams, the tears just wells up from the heart... and slowly trickle down my cheeks. Can't really explain why. But the tears are definitely filled with love, amazement and maybe a tiny tinge of worry. And it only lasted so long...
