I want to cuddle you so much now but you are sleeping so I'd better not. You were crying out for "Mama... Mama..." just a while back and quite honestly, my heart ached. And I teared a little.
You see, I've left you with Popo at her place a couple of times because I have things to attend to and leaving you to stay over was the best option. And each time, I received text messages from Popo before 10 pm to tell me that you are already asleep. Extremely cooperative little bub.
Today, we happen to be staying over at Popo's again. Both of us. You did not nap in the afternoon so you are clearly exhausted but somehow, you didn't want to sleep and I figure it must be me. So I told Popo in dialect, hoping that you won't understand, that perhaps I should have gone home instead. And that's when you started sobbing really bad and asked for "Mama." I immediately went over to cuddle you and assured you that I wasn't leaving. But you requested for kisses in the most pitiful tone I ever heard. "mu-ack." *sob sob*
We left you alone with Popo in the room after that so that she can pat you to sleep. That's how it usually is. But I could hear you, as I stood outside the room. Your frantic cries for Mama.
I've often joked with Popo and your daddy about how you don't seem to miss me when I leave you at grandma's because you don't ask for me at all. Today I realise you do. You were only being that sensible kid when I didn't stay over. I wish I didn't have to find out this way though. Your cries for "mama" really broke my heart.
Love you lots (and I'm not going to abandon you. Ever.),
Momma
