Three personal visits

Last night, I put what I learn from history into practice.

According to the history, Liu Bei paid three visits to the house of Zhuge Liang诸葛亮, and finally on the third visit, Zhuge Liang consented to be his strategist, as he was impressed by Liu Bei's sincerity, virtue and morality. This story has crystallised into a Chinese proverb called: "三顾茅庐". (Translation: Three personal visits to the house).

The confinement lady who has done an excellent job in taking care of my wife and our two babies told us that she may not be able to do it for us the third time. She is now a grandmother and babysitter to a 4 months old baby.

She is not an ordinary confinement lady. We treat her as part of our family. I have peace mind and good sleep when she helped my wife for the previous two confinement period.

In fact, my wife made it a point to visit to her house every Chinese New Year for the past 4 years.

We are going to pay her a third visit soon. Hopefully, she will work out a plan and be able to help us.
