As I Promised

Here I am. I’m doing well. Thank you so much for all the concerns, loves, cares, hugs, supports and courage.

Yup, life still goes on, with or without anyone else.

But we often have a choice, either to keep moving on or to take a break and stumble around. Obviously, I chose the second option.

It has been a long break. I’m thankful for taking granted on everything during that period.

I impetuously skipped the final week, skipped presentation and heartlessly rushed on my final paper. Then, I wrongly booked the overpriced air ticket three times, and heartbrokenly paid for the triple penalties. Also (catching my breath)… I stupidly passed the red light and got caught by a traffic camera before leaving U.S.

Phewww…

After all the chaos and hassles, I left Chean and Miyaki alone.

How bad can I be, Darling? I know, I always have room for that due to your unconditional loves and cares.

As I promised, I’ll be back as a brand new self.
As I promised, I’ll engrave sweet memories and only sweet memories in my heart.
As I promised, I’ll love everyone that loves me or loved me before.

That includes you, Darling.

I think I’ve found the one, the one who is reliable and irreplaceable in this world; just like grandma to me.

And you grandma, as I promised, I’ll remember your smile. Welcome to your new home, you are now living in my heart.
