Finally, Kiki was one with everyone. She allowed everyone to carry her and even planted kisses. Although she wasn't in her usual talkative self, it was great improvement from how the afternoon began. It takes so much patience and creative ideas to coax her out of the shell. I do hope she retains some of these knitted memory so that the next time we visit, she will blend in much quicker. We ought to have more frequent gatherings to keep her memory fresh, but I know everyone's really busy in our Singapore context. Work-life is taking up lots of space, we have to consciously make the effort to relax, to make time for family and friends. And personal "downtime" (means, your personal time to unwind).
