The most loved

Before I tell you about this anecdote of my son, I would like show you where I am now in my life. So I can show you the impact of what my son did for me and that is why I would love to engrave this experience forever in my heart.

They say that in our life no one should be neutral. It's either "yes" or "no" and no "maybe." But in my career path I'm in that area where I can't like it nor hate it. I'm sort of in a limbo here. As if my days is just going on because I need to have a work. But loving what I do in my work I cannot. It doesn't give me any fulfillment  at all at this point. But since I'm in France and my diploma is not recognized here, I just do my job like a lifeless creature. I love the idea of work. I'm a hard worker that's a fact. But my company is not making me grow anymore. Although I need to do something about it, for the meantime, I will just keep on working so at the end of the month, there's food on the table.

Yesterday, on my way to work, I received a call from my 7 years old son. Usually they won't call me not unless it's an emergency, so my initial reaction is admissible. So here's the conversation:

Vance: Âllo Maman.

Me: Hello Vance, is there a problem?

Vance: Non Maman, c'est juste que j'ai oublié de te dire que je t'aime. Et Vanille aussi... tiens Vanille.

(He passed the phone to his little sister.)

Vanille: Âllo Maman, je t'aime trop forte. Travaille bien.

Here's the translation:

Vance: Hello Mama.

Me: Hello Vance, is there a problem?

Vance: No Mama, it's just that I forgot to tell you that I love you. And Vanille too... here Vanille.

(He passed the phone to his little sister.)

Vanille: Hello Mama, I love you very much. Work hard.

The first thought that came to my mind is that I may have done something good in my past (like saved a whole nation) to deserve kids like them. All those thoughts about not liking nor hating my work just disappeared because of this. Positive thoughts started flowing in like my job is much better than any other job because it gives me a lot of time for my kids and family. If I have a high caliber job, I thought, I'll be spending more time at work than at home. So who am I to complain. Yes it still doesn't make me grow career-wise, yet it make me grow as a mother. We can't have everything in the world. Either this or that. Yes or No.

How lucky I am because I felt the most loved person in the world.
