A Night's Out

Yesterday I went to work overtime in my office and I left house at about 10am. Jade was still asleep at that time (she did wake up earlier but went back to sleep) and I kissed her goodbye. I finished my work at 5.30pm and originally, I planned to have dinner with my friends right after work. However, I made a trip home to pick up a book to pass to my friend, before I proceed to meet them.

When I was leaving my house again, I happened to see my wife and Jade coming out of the lift and having missed her so much, I went to hug and kiss her. Jade held on to me tightly and seeing that I am all dressed up, she asked where was I going. I replied that I am going to have dinner with my friends and she started crying. She said 'I don't want you to go daddy. I miss you. I have not seen you for the whole day'. That almost broke my heart. So I told her that daddy has promised his friends to meet for dinner, and I have to keep my promise. She refused to let me go still until I told her that I will get something for her when I return, and that I will keep my promise to her too.

I did keep my promise. I bought a small little yo-yo with a lollipop attached. She was very happy when she saw me that evening and I am happy that we share a strong bond.

I certainly hope that I can spend more time with my darling Jade and I certainly am working towards that day where I can choose to give my wife the lifestyle she deserves, and to give my daughter the time that she should have.
