The reason why I haven't written so often is because the pending changes of how my life is now it is pressing hard on me. I'm tending to savour every single moment I have, since quite frankly I don't know what to expect.
I remember the time my mom had to accept that we were no longer going to live with her, it was heart breaking for her. For a while she wouldn't leave us behind in another country and let my dad go back home by himself. He desperately keep calling her to come home to him but she would refuse. After a few months I sat down with her and reminded her of her duty to be with her husband, we needed to start our own lives. That talk, she said to me years later, saved her marriage.
With her heart in pieces she said good-bye to us and got on a plane to Puerto Rico. On a letter she explained to me how she felt; "like a bird leaving her fragile chicks on the nest and flying far away from them." It broke my heart, it still does as I write these words and soon my turn will come.
All I know is that I need to be strong. It will be the beginning of another stage in my life and every stage brings a little bit of pain with it. But I know that I've done my job and now I need to see the fruits of my labor and for that they must do it on their own.
