Staring at the photo of his wife and his daughter, Xin Zimen seemed to be lost. He had come back to rest for a while in his room but ended up taking out their photo and then, he lost track of time completely.
He looked at the beaming face of the little girl in the photo and his eyes softened. "How is my little angel? Did you miss Ah-Xin?" His hand caressed the girl in the photo and he smiled, "Ah-Xin is really sorry for not giving you time these days. I had been busy with stuff. I know, it's no excuse. I should have made time for you. I'm really sorry! It won't happen again. I'll try my best that it won't happen again."
Seeing that smiling face made his heart ache all over again. He was torturing himself for years like this but he couldn't help it now. It had become a habit to talk to their photo. He was obviously talking to just a photo but it still made him feel connected to the two people he lost.
I have said it plenty of times, and I'll repeat it again, I really have the best readers in the world. I felt so happy seeing how all of you showed concern for my health. It really touched me.
And from all of your suggestions, I really realized a lot of things as well.
For instance, one of you asked when was the last time I did something for myself and not for others.
To be honest, I can't remember. I've been trying to keep everyone happy around me and it made me forget that I need to keep myself happy as well. Maybe I do need a break since I haven't taken a single day off in over two months but I can't do it right now.
As I have told you all, it's my sister's wedding next month and I wish to give her iPhone 12 as her wedding present as a surprise. To achieve that I need to work harder. I'm already lazing around.
I really hope I am able to settle whatever is wrong with me right now.
Anyway, thank you so much for your concern. It really made me feel better seeing how you all cared.
