WE'RE HOME

It’s another day in Singapore and our last day to be exact. With a heavy heart, I pack mom’s stuff to prepare for our flight.

“Mom, are you sure about this?”

“Angel, this is the best decision I know. Let’s not argue about this anymore. We will have more time together in the Philippines.”

Dad didn’t disagree with mom last night. I don't know why. Dad probably only wants to give whatever mom wishes. He immediately booked tickets for all of us. Although it is hard for him as well. I saw it in his eyes last night, he was sad.

I knock on dad’s door to check on him. He let me in. Dad's luggage is open while his clothes scatter on his bed. "Dad, let me help you," I volunteer as I walk over to his bed.

"Thank you, Angel. I really need some help here."

"I got this dad." I immediately start folding his clothes. “Dad, I’m sorry to ask. How are you? Did you like mom’s decision to go back home?”
