Indoor Slide
Nothing is impossible if we want it and make it happen.
A month ago, I was impressed by how Gabriela tried to improvise different things to build a slide, from boxes to plastics or whatever things she may find. I was astonished by her creativity at a young age.
Of course, as a mother to fulfill the emptiness of my child's desire, I came to the rescue. I also searched for something in the house that we could make as a temporary slide. And I found our ladder and a small board, to make it stable, I taped it.
As I watch my children's happiness in an innocent way, I was touched by how God blessed me with these beautiful kids. They are always happy with whatever small, simple things they have and are always grateful to anyone who also shares their things, like toys, books, and clothes.
During that time, I tried to search for an indoor slide because my kids deserve it. This guilt I had watching them not be able to properly play because I can't bring them out regularly to the park, even if it's just beside our building, because I'm also having a hard time carrying two kids at the same time, aside from the weather too.
Having their toy was also challenging for me.
First, financially, it was delayed, and it makes me really sad.
Second, two days ago, the excitement that I'm about to receive the package turned to disappointment. The courier called me to ask if I'm willing to accept the package with damage or send it back to the seller. Honestly, I'm in doubt because I want it. Luckily, I updated my husband, and he said no, send it back for the kid's safety, so I didn't hesitate and refused to accept it. The language barrier is always a challenge for me here. Not all Romanians speak English, so I'm obliged to communicate using their language.
Third, I coordinated the chat support of the e-commerce (eMag) website, where I ordered the package and informed them about the failed delivery of my order. My heart breaks at this moment because I'm excited for my kids to see them playing inside our house with the slide.
Yesterday, another courier came, thinking I had the package to return to the seller. And I explained to him that I was not able to receive it, only the courier called and informed me about the damage. At that time, I also remembered what my husband mentioned, if only he were here in the house, maybe he could call the seller to negotiate and send another package without damage, because we want it for the kids. And I checked the contact details and dialed the number. Thankfully, the lady in charge who handled my concern understood me and processed the new items for replacement for delivery.
Today, I didn't expect to receive a notice that my order will be delivered at noon. The courier whom I talked to yesterday was also sending my package immediately to my home. Indeed, my kiddos are now so happy with their new slide.
Therefore;
"Nothing is impossible if we want it and make it happen."
