A part of love from home

Today in Chinese calender it is 15th of July
Today, we Chinese celebrate the mid-term of Hungry Ghost Festival
Yes indeed it is very horrify for some people, going around telling people to be aware
But,
for me thanks to what we celebrate today, I'd got a special treat from home - Mum's home cook food

It sounds very normal or boring for some of you
It might be a very common thing but not for me
My mum doesn't cook always due to her tight schedule, my family always settle our meals outside
Only in special days like today,
we have to set prayers as it is the 1st year my grandmother passed away
My mum take 1 day off just to cook for the praying, and plus because I was coming home.
Yes, I went home 4pm after class Saturday just for her cooking.

I have a very enjoying moment during lunch, together with all my family sitting down enjoying mummy's food
Full
The leftovers will be the dinner
and it was the dinner I brought back to hostel and ate just now
Just when I was enjoying my food with a delightful heart
I suddenly realized that now I was alone
I couldn't control my tears anymore
Suddenly felt so sad, and by looking at all those food mum made effort for me to bring from home
I was very touched
and thinking back what she said to me, make me even heart broken
'' Don't know why that I feel so tired lately after some work, couldn't catch up my breath, feel that I'm old already, don't know when only I couldn't do anymore. ''
I don't know what to respond, I just told her not to think too much, deep inside my heart I felt very sorry
Sorry that I still couldn't bear that burden with you and papa
But someday I will.
I promise

Looking back the past ,
when home was just a few minutes to go from the last ringing of the school bell
and a few miles away.
Everything was still so easily accessible and I couldn't see the value in it yet
That it has become so special and important to me now
