Witnessing the sheer delight in my son's eyes as he excitedly informed me that he'll introduce her girlfriend to me, I couldn't help but to feel a surge of happiness within my soul. His happiness is my happiness too.
With joy in my heart, I busied myself in the kitchen making sure everything was just right for my son and his girlfriend.
As the doorbell rang, my heart quickened with a mixture of excitement and warmth. My son welcomed me with a tight hug.
"This is Trina mom, my girlfriend!" I greeted her with a beaming smile and ushered them to the beautifully set table where the prepared meals awaited.
With a lively enthusiasm, my son couldn't wait to share how they met and how amazing the girl...sitting beside her is.
He went on and on but I excused myself to go to the bathroom for a moment and as I closed the door behind me, the tears I've been holding back finally fell, I couldn't take it anymore.
Truth hit me like a wave --- he came home with just himself, he doesn't have a girlfriend. Trina is non-existent.
