Every day, my Google Photos on my laptop pops up memories from 1, 2, 3 years ago and beyond. Today, photos of my daughters from May 2020 appeared — right in the middle of the Covid lockdowns.
Looking at those photos made me a little emo. Back then, all I wished for was for the lockdowns to end quickly and for life to return to normal. When my girls were still in school, I also wished they would grow up faster because I was mentally and physically exhausted — juggling school runs, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and working from home all at once.
And now?
Now that we are apart — the girls mostly living in KL and all grown up (Alycia is 23, Sherilyn 21, and Cass 18), while I am here in Ipoh — I find myself missing those days dearly.
My shoulders may be lighter now, free from many of those responsibilities, but my heart still misses my girls. They each have their own lives, their own routines, and sometimes days pass without us hearing from one another.
But no matter the distance between us, I will always love them, worry about them, and pray that each of them will always be happy, healthy, safe, and well.
