"mummy go office"

It’s Friday, and Fu’s schoolday. As it was drizzling, fu’s ye ye offered to send us to school with his lorry. As I carried fu to walk to the carpark, the wind blew and my hair covered my whole face. Fu was so amused and was busy helping me to sweep my hair aside. I really enjoyed the walk to the carpark looking at his sweet, smiley, chubby little face J

As always, we proceeded to wash our hands when we reached school. As I stood behind fu helping him wash his hands at the short, little sink, he raised his head and looked at me and his eyes started to water, he spoke with a very sad look,

“mummy go office…”’

I felt a lump in my throat… but I had to keep my emotions in control,

“yes, mummy’s going to the office, po po will bring you home later and mummy will see you in the evening ok?”

We went into the classroom and he repeated “mummy go office”.. He made the teachers feel sad when he said that. He said it so sadly.. I knelt down next time him and kissed him goodbye.. “mummy will see you in the evening.. byebye..”

I felt sad and happy at the same time. Fu is making progress and getting hold of his separation anxiety, I cant wait to see him in the evening.
