"Mummy! This is so fun." Hussein laughed as he ran around the park with his sister on his tail.
"Just be careful and don't get hurt." Ali said to them. We didn't get a chance to talk since morning.
I walked towards him where he was setting the snacks we brought with us.
"Ali, i..."
He caught me off "I'm sorry. I should have known better. It's all my fault. I...i didn't want my children to suffer like i did, i promised to give them all i couldn't get when i was a kid. I guess i was wrong, the most important thing that they needed, i couldn't give it to them. I couldn't give them the love they ought to have had and for that i'm deeply sorry."
"I promise to be there for them from now on. I would do my possible best to give them all the love they need."
I smiled as my tears fell silently "I'm sorry for being mean earlier. I was...i was so tired and emotional."
He pulled me into a hug "I'm sorry for letting you go through all that."
I hugged him back "Thank you."
