It's hard isn't it?
But I learned about it a a young age.
The liberating kind of love.
"At the count of ten,you should all hide again...One..Two...Three.. "
"Waaaahhhh!"
"Ahhhh!!!Come on Dad!.Why did you startle me?!" as I shouted to Dad while my heart is still racing.
"Were playing a game!" I added.
"I'm playing too" he said laughing.
"Dad's going to join us" my sister, Tiffany said.
"Yes I am" Dad said.
"You didn't say anything" I replied and they continue to laugh.
" Kids!" shouted Mom as she walk towards us.
"Hey! It's Mom! "
"Oh Sweetheart!" Dad said and he hugs Mom.We also hug her.
"I have a good news for you! I finally got my U.S visa approved!I can now work in U.S.A!" Mom said as she excitedly hugs us.
"Your Mother will be living stateside!" she continued.
Dad and my Sister was so happy about it.And I just simply smile but the truth is I'm not happy about it.
"Baby, I hope you will understand.Once all my documents in the U.S are in order,Once I get a job,I will petition for you,your dad and Tiffany to join me."
"What's a petition?" I asked.
"It means you will ask the country's government for permission to allow you all to live there with me.That's my dream dear.For all of us to live there together" Mom explained.
"But Why?" I asked again.
"Because life is easier there.Unlike here no matter how hard your father and I work,were still not getting anywhere.Unlike there,Life there is easier.We will have a comfortable life there" Mom said.
"Do you promise to come back right away Mom?"
"I Promise, Dear."
After that She gave me a pigeon in a cage.
"This pigeon of yours,If you take care of it,It will learn to love you.So even if you set it free,It will still come back to you.Just like my love for all of you.No matter where I go,I will still come back.Remember that OK?If they love you they will come back to you." Mom said.
"If they love you they will come back to you." as I repeated.
The day finally came,Mom's Documents are all settled and right now we're here in the Airport.
"Take care of yourself okay?If you think you can't do it anymore come home right away" Dad said as he embraces mom and cried.
We also cried. Of course we're sad because Mom's going to left us.
"It's time to say goodbye.Take care of our pigeon okay?" said Mom.
"Pampu?"
"Is that his name?" asked mom.
"Yes.I gave him a name and I named him Pampu.If you don't come back right away,Dad and I will make him into an appetizer." I said.
"You're so like of you're father!"Mom replied as she embraces me.Here we are again crying.
