Sun Rise, Sun set

Is this the little boy I carried,  Is this the little boy at play (all by himself)?
Wasn't it yesterday when he was small?
Sun rise, sun set     Sun rise, sun set    Swiftly flies the years

I got a PPT of this old song days ago
I have deleted the other emails, but this one surely triggered my memory

What a rich (in mercy and grace) journey it is-- the past one and a half decade
I have become a wife (a lousy one, for sure) and a mom (a striving and struggling one, should be)

Being a wife
According to the principles of the Bible, I have never been married, for I have not left my biological parents.
I met my husband when I first graduated from the university in Taipei.
And for the next 6 more years was the closest physical distance between us.
Then I went to the States and when I returned to Taiwan, I returned home to live with my parents in Tainan.
I visited him in Taipei occasionally
When we got married, I remained to live and work in Tainan
John was born in Taipei (in Taiwan Univ. Hospital as his Dad appointed and requested)
But after the maternity leave was going to be over, I brought him down to Tainan
Then we started the journey between 2 cities almost every weekend
When John started to have the intervention program at 關渡 at the age of 4, I remained in Tainan
The journey between 2 cities was done by me only.
After 2 years of intervention, John came down to Tainan to enter the elementary school
The journey between 2 cities was carried again by the two of us, Mom and son.

In 1999, when John was born, his Dad was 56 years old
Now it's 2013, John turns 14 and his Dad is 70.
