Bon Voyage

I was staring one day at all these stuffs.. These are just half of my things. Quite a clutter huh?
I also have all these questions on my mind. At the same, I felt this fear.. unfamiliar fear.
It all crowded in on me then: the stress, the worry about bills, this new level of responsibility, the endless details of running a house, and the everyday routine of teaching a child her lessons in school. Only a short time before, I'd been with someone and had shared these chores, these worries.
Still in motionless state, tears started to flow from my eyes. That's when I saw her. My little angel. She hugged me tight.
My loneliness was then replaced by extreme happiness. I can't express how happy she made me. This little girl in front of me, who in the wisdom of innocence, was silently giving me comfort.
I have regained my strength then. My focus changed in that instant. I was looking forward to this change.
