for girlfriend who makes the effort. Hong knew I was not in the pinkest state the last few weeks and suggested we take the day off and go shopping before Annie the musical in the evening.
We shopped around, bought nothing, and finally settled at the teahouse for our dessert and tea session. Like in the old times. Just like in the old times...
Except that there is a glaring little difference this time. As she talked about how guilty she felt towards leaving her son at home with the MIL, and fretting over what the MIL thought of her leaving the son at home and going out, I realised how much more effort she is making to be my company today than perhaps a few years ago, when we can meet out and watch the world pass anytime without cares. I am very thankful - thankful because the effort she had to make was very much an indulgence and for me.
