But I realized when I got out from school this afternoon, the sun was like smiling at me and my mind, as fast as the speed of light, thought about taking my two kids to the park. It’s been a while that they content themselves playing inside the restricted corners of our home and it’s a blessing that I could treat them today to a bigger playground.And so from my workplace, I hurriedly dropped a colleague
