The next day.
i woke up and prepared the breakfast then called for Daniel but he didn't respond, i kept calling him but he never responded. i went into his room but he wasn't there! i started going there and here searching for Daniel in all rooms around the house and everywhere i could think of but he wasn't in the house. i thought to myself that must be a dream. its not real, my son should be here with me, where is my son??! where is he??! did he escape? why?? he would never do such a thing.
then i called the police, and ran in the streets while calling his name. Daniel, my son where are you ??! why did you ran away ??! i felt that i have had lost everything, i felt so lost. i didn't know where to go and where he may be. i went to the playground, i thought maybe he is there, and i found him! i found my son, Daniel, he was there! i started crying, i ran to him and hugged him so tightly. i was so relieved that he was okay and that i found him. i told him to never do such a thing and ran from home again but he pushed me! Daniel? why??
mom: why did you ran away from home and why are you pushing me away now??
Daniel: i don't want to go back! i don't want to live like this, always locked inside the house, not allowed to go out and play around. i don't want to live like this, its hell for me, i'm not happy. i know that i'm sick and i should stay at home, but you know? i would like to live short life but be happy than to live a long one like this. if you love me let me go, let me live happy.
when he said those words, i realized that i wasn't protecting him all this time, i was hurting him. i wasn't a good mom. i didn't do what Daniel needed me to do. i didn't...i just... i just hurt him. i always locked him inside because i was afraid anything would happen to him, i was afraid to lose him, i didn't want to bear the pain of losing Daniel. i was too selfish i didn't let him be himself. so i decided to let him be free and travel the world with him. it may be a short journey but i will make it the best one for him.
