Goodbye again

After observing for a while, I decided to go with my instincts, and pop the discussion with hubby immediately when he was back in town. To my surprise, he supported fully on my decision to change the school. After narrowing down to four choices, we made our pick in two days. I really hope this school will fulfill whatever they promised, and both Eu and Tien will like it there just as much as their first school.

The boy inside

Happened to see the documentary film on tv during the Saturday morning. The mothers being interviewed were all putting on a strong face in front of the camera, but as the conversation went on, they all broke down due to the sorrows, helplessness they felt for themselves and especially for their children.

One of the mother said: "I don't care if people reject me, but when they reject him, it just breaks my heart!" I wept with her when I heard this as it brought me back to that day where I witnessed for myself how my son was being treated by one of his classmate. Standing at a distance, without the knowledge of Eu and his peer, the kid was calling him a devil and making fun of him. The boy kept repeating his hurtful words though Eu told him to stop. I went home crying my heart out instead of reporting to work. I will never forget the amount of sadness and pain I felt that day, not for me but my child.

Before the festive season ends...
