While you take a nap on the long bus ride home, just let me muse over something you had said to me over dinner. Though the words are fuzzier now, but it hit me in a surreptitious moment; it's time I felt more responsible over not just my own family, but also towards the other family I'll belong to in due time. And it has never been more true; while I was fulfilling my obligations as a daughter to my parents, I have yet to pass the test as a family member to my other family whom I have grown to love over the years. The moment you brought this up, the truth that sank in had hurt immensely. Simply because I had failed to see.
So I want to make a promise, here and now, and I want the world to witness this. That I will, to the best of my ability, spend more time with my second family and you, because I WANT to. I want to worthy of all the love your family has showered on me, and I want to be a part of this love. I want our much talked-about future to materialise just like we have planned for it to, so I want to put all I can into it. I want to stop talking about it - I want to start taking action to make it happen. We'll be in this together, promise me?
And I miss you.
