Aili blogging about the priceless gifts she received from Edna reminded me of something similar.
Some 2 years ago, when I was stuck in the labour ward for a week, my then 4-year-old nephew, Azhad, drew a picture of The Husband, me and the unborn Huda and wrote a message below it: "We pray that Cik Ira (that's me) and Huda will be safe."
When The Husband brought the picture to me (strictly no visitors in the labour ward other than the spouse), I asked the nurses for some tape and stuck the picture on the cupboard beside my bed. I constantly looked at the drawing throughout my stay in the hospital.
Fast forward 2 years later, I was again in hospital and my now 6-year-old nephew brought me another picture.
These drawings are things money can never buy and at this stage in life when we can buy almost anything we want, priceless gifts like these are the best.
