My night of anguish was followed by a very touching day with my niece. Since my eyes were really swollen from crying the whole night I didn’t want my family to see that I once again shed some tears. But I can’t just stay in my room so I went down to join them at lunch. And as expected my mother noticed my puffy eyes. “Oh! Mukhang umiyak ka nanaman ah?” Hoooh, I just can’t really hide anything from my mother especially if evidences are visible. When I was done eating lunch I headed back to my room and locked my door. After awhile a very vigorous knock disturbed my silence. “Tita!” “Tita!” “Tita, papasukin mo ako” Still I didn’t open the door. “Tita, gusto mo ng mangga?” Haaar! Fine! I saw her with the mangoes in her hands as she smiled. When I smiled back and took the mangoes from her, she gave me a very tight hug as if she knows how much I am in pain. That moment eased my disturbing strain from last night. I let my niece stay with me; it was very unusual because she was quiet the whole time watching me as if she was trying to read what was on my mind. :) It was so amazing that even a 5y/o kid can understand how grown-ups suffer from pain. I am so thankful that I am surrounded by people who can make me smile amidst my struggles no matter how old or young they are. My niece was a very good example :)
