This morning after I had dressed up,  I took out a new bottle of perfume from my drawer.  I opened the box then placed the bottle on my bathroom counter.   Then I noticed a folded bond paper on the counter, same spot where I placed the papers from the Bally wallet.   This must have come from the wallet,  naiwan lang.  I opened it to check what it was.  It was another note from my daughter.

I couldn’t control my emotions,  I started weeping.  Edmund was already at the breakfast table waiting for me.  I texted him to come up.  I was crying and crying.

I was so gripped with guilt.  I cried a river.

This note was another validation of how neglectful I was as a young mother.  I was always leaving my children for unimportant things.  I couldn’t even remember where I was.

  1. Ms. Annie, dont feel so bad. Your children love you very much. You may have made some wrong choices before, but the important thing is, you spend more time with them now. Make more memories with your husband and kids. That is all that matters.
