Beckham lost again???

I've been away for a long time. It's not that there's no more miracles in my life, but rather discipline to blog is very hard to cultivate for me :p

Just as I was preparing my mind to start blogging again this year, Beckham started the CNY by giving me a story to share.

On the 1st day of CNY, we went house visiting as usual. Every year, from my wife side, all will gather in 1 house for dinner. It is the house of her cousin and they stayed in a penthouse with a very open space outside the house. This is usually the last stop for the day.

Beckham likes to go there because he has a large space to run about and there are many people. However this year most of the attentions was put on our twins (I'll share about my twins in later posts).

Though Beckham may wonder away sometimes, most of the time, he will follow where I go. As I'm taking this for granted, towards the end of the night when most of the relatives have left, I suddenly feel that sometime was missing.

I looked around and Beckham was not in sight. I alerted Joyce, we searched the house and then we confirmed that Beckham was really gone. I was trying to recall when was the last time I saw him and it seems like quite long ago. My heart sank as I was trying to think how we can find him back again. The house was opened all the while and Beckham could have went into the lift without anyone noticing.

We started our search by going to the ground floor and see if we can find Beckham. I can see the anxiety on Joyce's face. I started to pray but I am not sure if God will help me again as this was the 2nd time Beckham has gone missing. Many thoughts came to my mind as I'm strategizing. Guilt, fear, anxiety, etc.

After some search around the swimming pool, I told Joyce to search the common area while I try my luck on the block at each level.

So I make my way to the block and went to the top floor. My plan was to go down the staircase floor by floor to search for Beckham. When I reached the house that Beckham went missing, I found that the door to the staircase was left opened. I went to the staircase and shouted for Beckham, but no response.

So I went down the staircase to every floor and went to the lift lobby at every floor hoping that I find Beckham there. I shouted his name at almost every floor just in case he went into one of the household and hoping that he can hear me and respond back. However, there was no luck.

When I reached the ground floor, I was so relived to see Beckham sitting behind the railings. Apparently, he seems to have gone down the staircase from 14 floor all the way to the ground floor and squeeze into the railing and then got himself stuck there (probably he didn't know that he can squeeze himself out again). Then all the can do is to just sit there crying. I can see a small pool of water on the floor. When I shouted for his name, he didn't even respond back to ask for help :p Aiyo... this dog of mine :p He must be very anxious waiting there for help and I wonder how long he has been there waiting alone :(

Though my faith was small and weak, through this little faith that I put my trust in God and prayed, he still answer. He is so Good.
