Well, so fast CNY holidays came and went and today I am back again in the office after the break. This CNY is very different from the previous years. I do not feel the atmosphere of CNY this year. Perhaps I am not celebrating it this year, however, this year is totally different with one family member less in my family.
Most of the time, there is only myself and my mom at home. Even my brother and sister-in law did not spend too much time in my house anymore, unlike last year when my dad is still around, they will spend the whole day in my house but for this year, they just came back late in the afternoon on the first day of CNY and went back by the evening without even having dinner.
Deep down inside I know my mom is disappointed with the attitude shown by my brother and his wife, but she choose to remain silence. To be honest, I am disappointed with their attitude too. However, I too choose to keep the peace.
Therefore, I try to spend the most time I could with my mom, sending her to where ever she wants to go, e.g. my uncle / aunties houses, my uncle's steamboat shop etc. I don't know what else I can do besides trying to keep her accompanied as much as possible. I know she is very bored and I can see from her eyes she still misses my dad a lot. Everytime we talk about him, I can see tears developed in her eyes.
I know from now on, I will be the one fully responsible to take care of the well being of my mom. I know I can't rely on my brother, let alone my sister-in-law. That is why I am really grateful that I had an understanding gf / future wife that is able to accept the fact that when we get married, we need to stay in with my mom.
Thank you Dear for your kind understanding.
Well, got to get back to work.... Happy working Guys / Gals!!
