I am blogging about this just for the record because it is the first time that happened after a long long time.

My mom, me, and my daughter went out to the city to windowshop. We don’t have money but we just want to stretch our legs after being just at home for the past days. We tried to avoid the crowd so we walk passed the small streets and we walk very very slow — for the sake of my mom. We walked single file — me ahead, mom next, then dimple at the end. Dimple would like to walk ahead of me or beside me but i told her to walk behind my mom incase my mom would feel dizzy and will fall. We were so good in avoiding the crowd til we reach the market area. We enjoyed checking the relief goods thinking that we would come back one day to buy some for ourselves. Stuff from Japan and Korea were still good especially the tshirts and blouses. Ohhh I really want to pick something for myself but I told myself, maybe this is not yet the right time. Hopefully January will be better.

Mom walks so slow. Seeing her walking that speed aches my heart. It made me realize how her sickness made her so weak. We met some friends along the way and she was so happy to see one that is 78 years old. I met some aunties and some friends, too and it is a joy to exchange real smiles with them.

Ohhhh how i wish life is just so simply uncomplicated, but it is not like that for now.

Anyway, i really hope for a better year ahead!
