    It was such a surreal moment being able to spend a very relaxing weekend at Cerf Island with our 2-year-old Sage Alexander. It's our first time to be away from Mahe and such a wonderful experience we had together at L'Habitation. The bonding was an experience of a lifetime I would never bargain for anything. A friend recommended it to us and at once I called for an early booking. The rainbow symbolized hope when I took a photo at how amazing it looked on the sky reflecting for a new beginning for my papa. The ocean was also a great reminder on the immensity of God's love for humanity especially those who have terminal illness.

    I have never thought that my dream of having a family getaway outside Mahe would come true at an unexpected moment due to the news I got from home as my father has been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis (cancer). This I have to write in my other post as from the very moment upon writing I feel that God wanted me to savour the moment with my own family here in Seychelles likewise my papa also told me to take care of them and not to worry much about him.

    With God's comfort and healing hand, I know in my heart, my papa will have a long way to go. I have to make sure that every time we would have our video call, I have to uplift his spirit and told him to smile so I could take a great shot but deep inside I was crying because he's been our pillar in the family. There was a time I have to excuse myself, I lied I needed to go to the toilet so that I could burst out my tears and went back fresh. It was the hardest, but prayer offered in FAITH will make the sick person well and we claimed that papa will be healed. So struck at the story of Lazarus who was restored from death.

    Trust in the process and how I love the moment we were spending together online despite his condition. As always he reminded me to be keener with my own family and be with them wholeheartedly. We were just skype or video call away. So during a special weekend, in Cerf Island at L'Habitation to experience every bit of what was offered to us being away from Mahe as it's only 15minutes by boat and we have been greeted with a welcome juice that Sage loved and asked for another glass, he's thirsty surely.

    Our baby's energy that day despite his tiredness was incomparable, who ran to and fro, chased the birds nearby, acted like he's the hare and I'm the bird flying and couldn't wait for his tour using the club car.

    The boat left Eden Island around 4 pm and it was quite an afternoon because the solemnity of the place was incomparable. You knew that feeling where you just fell in love with it the moment you set your feet in the place. I was trying to focus on our bonding moment but God knew deep inside my heart, I was half-hearted knowing how my papa's condition at the hospital has been my focal point. The place reminded me of so many things I have set aside realistically speaking the moment I ventured into cryptocurrency, life is bigger than mere earning. So I chose not to write during the weekend and indeed gave my all to my boys, hence enjoyed the pool session with Sage. I was dumbfounded by how I almost lost what gem I already have.

    The place did not only relax my nerves but being able to communion with my Creator emerging myself with nature in a very difficult moment, L'Habitation was a great source of looking back on how magnificent our journey in life when we take it one day at a time. Seychelles is best known for its amazing nature, truly when you give yourself time to emerge fully on the sanctity of the place, you felt like it's a fantasy in a more realistic realm. I felt it's my sanctuary. I felt so at peace seated at this round chair with those cushions facing the calmness of the ocean and the mountain. The moment we arrived in the area, this spot captured my attention. I can't explain why it just did, I felt like being dragged into it that I needed to just relax a hundred and one percent, although to no avail tried to work a bit, in the end, I just captured the moment.

    Our weekend getaway here at L'Habitation revived my soul into a more open-minded and understanding human being. I have so many realizations through this short but memorable bonding together as a family of three. I have learned how to emerged myself fully in nature and so blessed to have been given a chance to experience the other side of the world outside my usual busy city life long before I decided to settle here in Seychelles. I could just remember how my adjustment period took up until my papa reminded me how God has blessed me with a good family abundantly. Sometimes in life, we failed to see the grandeur of the world's beauty ( not in its material sense) not unless we're in a deep and unfathomable life's adversities.

    Hence, there's always healing in writing and in praying. So if you have the chance and great opportunity to be with your parents or loved ones, please always find time to be with them fully sincerely and wholeheartedly, I am telling you from my battle, it's a treasure beyond measure, time spent with your FAMILY is worth more than anything a material world can offer. Mind you it's actually FREE being with them and TIME is your only investment, remember what Stephen R. Covey said, "the key is in not spending time, but in investing it."
