Christmas is only a month away. How time flies when you're having fun. I know it's abit early posting something about Christmas but whenever it approaches, it's sort of bittersweet for me. I cannot remember any specific happy moment but there's been many disappointments as I was a child.
One of the saddest things I remember was when I was about 6 or 7. I was sitting on the stairs with my mum and brother beside me with the front door wide open anxiously waiting for my dad to come pick us up. By that time they had already separated but he would spend occasions such as this with us. That night we were supposed to attend an annual Xmas party at his friend's house so there we were all dressed up and raring to go. I remember waiting and waiting and the constant calls to his HP but to no avail. I think we sat there for about an hour and a half till my mum got up and closed the door. I think at that moment, I realised that was it. My dad was never coming back.
I've given up waiting and have just accepted it as years pass by. No one's to blame, I understand that now.
