Please come back.

~~ Me and my dad

"Dad is coming back home." I had no reaction when this news was split on me. A week after, on the day of his arrival which is 2 days ago, it put me to ask mom something. I know Im not perfect at taking good care of her since my dad left 2 years ago but wasn't it probably enough that have made her possibly thought of taking him back? A childish question but that moment, i wish i could have been better coz I may loose my chances soon, I thought.

Saturday; Not Monday- as what she told me about the day he's coming back. I saw her. She was so happy even if she denied that it was because of his arrival.

I have witnessed both of them as i was growing up. I thought keeping him is a part of her motherly love as a primary tool. But i just realized, he really loves him.

Finally, that green door was opened and he walked in. I was already glad seeing him physically fit on my sister's wedding last April 25- the day that actually bridged him home.

He wrapped me in his arms, kissed my head and told me "I love you". My 3 year-old said HI to him. He was so happy seeing his grandpa who left when he was 1 year old. I guess he still remembers him as the one who used to send him to sleep at noontime. Now, the keeps him company when he's having his meal in the dining room while throwing inane stories to him, wanting to have a share with his cold drinking water as well.

Earlier i was flabbergasted (lol me and my guy's fave word), i saw my parents hugging each other in the living room and my 3 year old was there. He cheered them with applause lol! He has never been that happy until my dad came.

I guess by allowing my mom and the rest of the family to be happy and appeased is a part of how i want to keep them well taken care of and it's giving me more chances to become a good keeper.
