Today May 16, my daughter has been gone for 4 days now. Maxine was actually here in Toronto with me for a whole month's vacation away from school in Manila. I am terribly missing her.
I have been in Toronto since June 24, 2006 for further training in neonatology and will be here for a total of three years. It was a very hard decision to make though. My family (hubby and three kids) still stay in Manila. It is a long story. One that I will tackle by and by in this blog.
Maxine came on April 11, a cold spring day and warmed my heart the moment I held her in my arms at the airport as I met her there. I am amazed at how much she has grown since I saw her last December in Manila. Unlike life in Manila where she was waited on hand and foot, she easily settled into doing chores around my apartment. Part of her tasks was to take the trash out and this she did without any qualms. The moment she sees the trash filling up, she tells me to tie the bag up and she will take it to the chute. It was a daily routine. And now I miss it.
Silly now as it may sound, but I see the trash can and I feel my eyes getting teary. How I miss my daughter.
