When I was teenager, I couldn’t wait for my 18th birthday. Dad promised me to have my own place after the birthday.

And the day came. Mom was a bit reluctant. But Dad wanted me to be independent. Me, too.

The first day in this new place, I was jumping all around the place (it’s a small apartment belonged to Dad). The second day, I took the whole day to rest and relax. The third day, I was starving.

I was embarrassed to call Mom and ask her what she had for lunch. But…there was no other way. I had to do it anyway. I forgot to take some money from my personal bank account (Dad gave it to me as a birthday gift), therefore I couldn’t shop or buy food.

So, I called Mom. And guess what…she was crying hearing my voice and we ended up crying together. I realized that I missed her so much.

Yes, that sounds silly and I’m not supposed to tell about it here. But, I really want you and of course me to remember that no matter what, no matter where your children go, their heart is with you. Whatever I went through in my life, there is always family. I started with them and will end with them, too, I hope.
