walking in the rain

A few days ago at Universal Studios Singapore, when you came running up to me and crying after one of the characters you hate tried to catch and disturb you, I realized that all I really had to do, was to be there for you.

Today, as you lay motionless while being wheeled back into the ward on a stretcher after your tonsillectomy surgery, I realized that all I needed to do, was to be there to take care of you.

As you struggled to swallow water and medicine in pain, I wished I could be the one suffering instead of you.

As I fed you porridge and jelly at 6pm for your first meal of the day, I realized that all I really wanted to do was to love you.

Today's happenings felt like scenes taken from a MediaCorp Channel 8 drama, but never in my life did something like this feel so real.

Tonight, I ended up all teary as I looked through the photos I took at the hospital, and I hate myself for not being able to stay the night with you due to the hospital's visiting hours.

Today, I made a decision.

I promise that I will always be there for you.

I promise that I will take care of you no matter what happens.

I promise that I will always love you.

To my baby: Thank you for loving me. I love you.
