Touched
I was out of town for 3 days for our annual business planning. We normally conduct this in Astoria but for this year, the company decided to have it out of town. It was my first time to be away from Hannah for more than 1 day and I know I’ll have separation anxiety. Hehe! I left early Thursday morning and both kids are still asleep. I called Paul Thursday night and I was able to talk to Lance but Hannah was asleep na. I called Paul again Friday morning and I was able to talk to Hannah. Paul said that Hannah was about to cry upon hearing my voice so I did not talk to her anymore. I just assured her that mommy is missing her.
I went back home Saturday night and Hannah was asleep na when I got home. She woke up when she heard Lance playing and started crying and so I carried her. She then stopped crying and maybe she felt that it was mommy carrying her. She looked at me and began sobbing and was trying to hug me tight. She kept on gripping my arms and continued sobbing. I assured her that mommy is home already and I put her back to sleep. I really felt that Hannah missed me when I’m away. She can’t talk yet but with that gesture, I know she was looking for her mommy. I was really touched because I know I haven’t spent a lot of time with her and Lance since I work Mondays to Fridays but it made me feel good that despite that, they still miss me. Haayy… if only I can stay home all the time.
