At the end of today, when all of our legs are up.
👨🏾🦲: Do you know what I like about today?
👩🏻: It didn’t crush us?
👨🏾🦲: Yeah, we still have our spirits up high and had a good laugh. As you said “Money loss but people saved”.
Let me wrap the day up for you in short.
- 2:30am: Wake up
- 3am: Left the house, heading to Liverpool for KSW National Testing.
- 7am: Car decided to take its early retire, just 1 hour shy from the destination (178 miles/ 286km away from home)
- 7:30am: Tough choice made, family split. No time to waste, Mom and Son changed to uniforms in the middle of the road.
- 8am: Mom and Son taking an expensive Uber to the Testing, Dad stayed behind sorting out the car
- 8:30am: Son having bad stomachache, ranking 8/10 (10 as the worse)
- 9am: arrived at the Testing in a niche of time. Tough choice made, Son had to man up, went straight to Testing.
- At this point, Mom was separated from Son and nearly had a mental breakdown. After all the chaos just passed, she had to pull herself together for her Testing and watch Son in despair.
- 10am: Son still standing strong, Mom relieved.
- 12pm: Testing finished, message from Dad on the train coming to Liverpool. A KSW friend offered a lift to train station along with many other offers (much grateful 🙏)
- 1pm: Family reunited. Spirits back up. A nice meal treat, Vietnamese restaurant obviously 🤪
- 3pm: Taking a 40 minutes walk to AirBnB, playing games, chatting away, laughing. As long as they’re together they can run the world.
Haha not really a short summary, is it. We reminded each other, if something bad happens and you let it beating you up, who is suffering? Why suffer when no one else does?
Despite all the chaos, we still found joy 🤪🥰🤩
