One has left the nest

One morning, about three months before her convocation in Putrajaya, she gave us a surprise. She is leaving to work and would only visit us periodically. We were so comfortable to see her watch movies at home. We have got one choice which is to accept the fact that she is doing for good. She is now a young adult ready to navigate the journey she prefers. We thought she was still our baby but we’re wrong. I guess many parents thinks the way she had.

Swiftly after her announcement to us, she packed her personal effects and in two weeks time, she started to start her first job. Enduring the first few months of her not with us like before was not easy but we are happy with her decision and so we have to realign our lifestyles.

I picked this title from my cousin sister when we visited her mother on a Sunday morning. She was enquiring about our daughter well-being and she concluded that, “Well, that is good and …. one has left the nest”

If the bird is home-coming, no matter where the bird roam, the direction to home is remembered. True of the saying, the quality of time has also improved.
