Leaving my baby behind

It's not something we look forward to, but it is inevitable. After lunch and errands, we headed back to the hostel to drop you off with groceries and your guitar (*happiness... the management office approved your request to have the guitar in the room).

We said our goodbyes and off went our big boy to his new life in college. My heart felt so heavy and daddy said he nearly cried when you walked off. 

We started our journey off when Mei-mei found that you had left your lip balm in the car. Daddy made a u-turn but when I called you to let you know about it, you said that you didn't need it. So we went off again but first to pump petrol.

After petrol, top up of TnG and toilet break, we followed Waze's direction only to realise we didn't set to go home to Penang, instead it was bringing us back to Waterfront Residenses *grin*. We quickly reset the directions and started our journey home. 

Mei-mei happily stretched out across the length of the car to sleep, but ended up curling up in her usual corner, saying it's still more comfy this way to nap. 

We miss you already, but we know that we need to let go and have you live a different and more independent life.
