After dad's funeral I decided it was time I continued my studies. During my childhood I wanted to be the best doctor and even now that dream still remains . I decided I did not want to continue staying here , because it brought back so many bad memories . Although I had forgiven all those who hurt me the memories were still there . Every where I went held a memory. Today I have decided to discuss with my mom my decision to leave the country to study abroad . I knew it would be tough for her. She might think I'm leaving because of her but honestly I wanted to be away for sometime, to heal ,to start my life again, to pick up from where I left off and to do that I needed to leave here where it all began.
I walked into my adopted mom's room as I sat beside her ." Mom I will like to speak to you about something. Well the thing is I was to be in the university two years ago but because of certain circumstances I was unable to . I remember dad telling me to do well in my exams and to work hard in my studies and I've decided to go back to school . I've applied for a university in the states . I would like to go outside the country to fulfill my dream to become a doctor . I've been giving an admission at sky high college and I will be leaving God willing next week . The course I'm applying for is a six years program and I would love it if you support my decision . " Mom looked at me with tears in her eyes and said " Of course I'll support your decision . I want your wounds to heal and for you to follow your dreams. I want to look at the list of best doctors and see your name. I'm proud of you for wanting to start school again . Whenever you need a helping hand always remember you've got a mom who will do anything for you ." I hugged mom and wept on her shoulder. "I'll miss you ." I said .
My last days at home were the best I had ever had . I wish I could stay longer but I can't. Currently I'm at the airport consoling my mom that everything was going to be alright.
" Goodbye's are said to people who we know we will never meet again so come back soon my dear we will await you." These were the last words I heard from my mom before processing further into the airport .
