I only remember the winters. I don't know why.
It was cold and she carried me in her arms.
I hided my head behind her nek.
I remember how she struggled.
She took a break. Too many bags to carry.
Then I just stood behind her to be protected against the wind.
I took her legs in my arms.
We suffered, but we were happy together.
I remember those nights during the winter.
I was waiting for her to come back from work.
It was so cold, but she was even colder.
And she carried me back to my bed, and would sometime falls asleep next to me.
I only know now that she used to work untill 2 a.m.
I remember some sunlights.
It's only when I came to Boston
That I realized that it was here. We escaped Dad.
But I did not understand why we went back.
Two Winters later, we were four in the family
But I never felt more lonely as I barey saw you.
I took care of him as I could.
But I filled my loneliness of temptations.
She was sad.
She made me promise that whatever happens in my life,
I would never smoke and do drugs.
And I never broke the only promise I ever made to her.
I remember how she cried when my second brother past away
And she took my other brother and went to Vietnam to take care of my sick grandfather.
She left for 4 months and time never ever seemed so long.
It was 13 years ago.
So many things have changed. To see where we were and to see where I am now, I can only say thanks to her. I did not understand why she went back to Belgium to go through so many dramas and did not stay in Boston.
I understand now why. I will be back too. I will be stronger as she became stronger and I will become succesful as she wanted me to be.
Happy Mother's day
