Been crying my eyes out since the new year because I kept thinking of how much I’ll miss my Mom when she leaves for Australia to study. My Dad always reminds me that’s she’s only going to be away for a year, but a year is a long time. Now, everytime I do something that my Mom would normally do, I can’t help but cry. As in naglalaba ako, umiiyak. Naghuhugas ng pinggan, umiiyak. I even took down the Christmas decorations while crying! Last night, my parents and I were crying while having post-dinner coffee. :’(
