We were separated for 10 years. You made sure I ate my congee when I was sick. You beat me when I was bad. I cried but now I forgive you. I was a confused child without you. I tormented myself with the thought I’d never find you. I held on to the faint sound of your voice. Yet as the years passed, your voice faded away. I would stare at your photos for fear of forgetting your face. 7 years have passed since I found you. I’ll never forget the ride from the airport when I realized I was home. I promised myself I’d never lose you again. I won’t lie. Right now I’m afraid. I’m helpless to what happens next month, so the only thing I can do is pray. I will pray every night that you will be safe.
