Today, Mum and I started our new personal training package. This time, our PT coach is Faizal, the same coach who conducts our group strength training and Zumba classes.
Apart from strength and fitness training, Faizal also incorporates physical therapy into our one-hour sessions. His approach for Mum is a little different from mine, with more emphasis on physical therapy rather than strength training. After our first session today, Mum was already pleased with the treatment and commented that she felt much lighter. Hopefully, this will help ease some of her chronic aches and discomfort.
Not even 10 minutes into our session, I received a call from one of my daughters in KL. Seeing her name on my phone really gave me a scare because any call from my daughters is almost always something unpleasant. She was struggling with a major decision and needed someone to talk to. What was supposed to be a quick phone call turned into almost an hour-long conversation, and I ended up missing the entire personal training session.
But that's perfectly fine. If talking to her could help ease her worries, clear her doubts and heartaches, and guide her through a difficult crossroads in her life, I would gladly give up the entire PT session – or even a whole night's sleep.
Because that's what mothers do. No matter how old our children are or how far away they live, when they need us, we'll always make time for them. ❤️
After gym, we went to our favorite restaurant, Cheung Kee Porridge, for lunch before my younger brother drove back to KL.
