CUTEST BABY OF THE PLANET 2009 – FINALIST

Muhammad Hariz Aazad

21st February 2009

Q : What is the meaning of your baby’s name?

The meaning of Muhammad Hariz Aazad is Pemelihara Kemerdekaan yang Terpuji. This name was choosen as a tribute to our relatives in Palestine especially in Gaza. We hope that Aazad will be a fighter to defend the liberty of Muslims.

Q : What is ONE of the most memorable moment about your baby since she/he was born until now?

I remembered one day, when I feels so down. Almost giving up on fighting for what I believe and what I have always wanted, to be a WAHM. Not getting enough moral support from my family has really makes me feels sad and frustrated. The sayings of others especially my husband and my mom has really torn my heart. I was crying on the sofa, and he was there besides me. He look at the tears coming down from my eyes. Probably wondering, "Why is Mama crying?". He looks and he stares... Suddently he reached for my hands, holding it tight and lay his head on my lap. I felt like he was saying, "Don't worry Mama, I will always be with you. Be strong. You have made the right choice. I want to be with you and I want you to be with me." Little that he did, but he gave me strength to go on. He made me realised that I am doing this for him. That moment will always be in my heart and memory forever...

Little note : He has always made me so proud. At the age of 10 months he can pronounce quite a number of words and can count 1, 2, 3, 4... Now I am sure I have made the right choice :)

The articles really is close to my heart especially ones that touches the topic of being WAHM. How to be, what to expect, motivations and some true stories shared among other bloggers have really inspires me.
