missing them


It's been less than 24hours and I miss them so dearly now. Watching them leave is harder than me leaving the country the first time. =(

The smell of constant cooking and cleaning, the constant sounds of repairs and modification, the sound of laughter and unique ideas, that little voice that tags whe
rever I go..all these are now gone as they are on their way home. Living with them for almost the past 2 months was awesome! I did not have to worry about everything myself or try be an adult in every situation. Mom and Dad was there throughout the 2 months, helping us out in our place, making us breakfast every morning, packing our lunch boxes, organizing all our stuff the way it should have been done, buying us organizers we thought we can't afford, repairing every broken piece in my house, cleaning it everyday so we'll have a clean home to come home each day, doing my laundry so I won't have to worry about it, redecorating my ro
om with love and joy, stocking up my place with food so we won't starve..all the little things makes so much difference. They were always there to take care of everything for us. It was more like a vacation for me than for them.

Now, I wake up to quietness, loneliness and the smell of independence. I miss the smell of fresh home-cooked food, the sounds of repairs and new ideas, the laughter and joy, every moment we spent together..How I wish they did not have to leave so soon. They were so patient and understanding to everything we did/say here. Sometimes, we can
just be immature and ungrateful..but I just want you all to know I appreciate everything you did for us. Everything you had sacrifice so that we could have a better life, better opportunity. This has been the BEST summer ever!!! I promise I'll work hard and get a job and give you all a better life in the future. I love you all! Have a safe trip home!
