When visiting hour is over and its time to go, EggEgg tried to drag me away from the hospital bed with both his hands and all his might. He wanted Mami to go home with him so badly.
Me: "EggEgg, listen. Ms Nurse has asked me to stay for one more night here, she said I have to sleep in this special bed tonight."
EggEgg kept pointing to my chest and to his chest, indicating that he wanted both of us together.
Me: "This is the last night I'll be here. Will you come back tomorrow and take me & little bro home? Come early and I'll save some yummy breakfast for you."
EggEgg gave a look of understanding and begin to wave me goodbye.
"Remember to come early to take us home..."
I feel really sad to see EggEgg go. His new found maturity and independence makes me proud and lonely at the same time.
The thought of him leaving home for good in 20 years time makes me cry each time I think about it.
