The Empty Spot

Filed Under Daily

So my mom left on Thursday and went back to Vietnam for 2 weeks vacation. In our family, vacation has a peculiar meaning since we rarelly take them. The house changes immediatly. I’ve never really realized the void which one person leaves behind when he/she goes away. I am usually the one leaving and because I had to adjust myself to my new environment I did not feel it. I had a taste of it while observing my dad’s habits. He keeps on doing exactly the same things he would have done if my mom was still here. It is the people who stay who suffer the most I believe. They are indeed facing the same reality but they have to fill up the empty space left behind.

My little Lolita broke her nail while stumbling on it. She has a hard time walking so she tends to fall. The good thing is it’s one of these nails that is located on the side and she does not need it. I tried to fix it using a bandaze so that it can heal and her body can reject the dead part. Removing it completely now might hhurt her.

My brother’s contract  as  teacher ended. He did not like the school and I think it is better that it ends.
