During 22 days of my mom stay in Singapore, my wife and parents-in-law truly cared a lot and let her enjoy the moment greatly. My wife guided her around the city and took loads of photos to capture the memories. As for my parents in law, they take charge at home as both of me and my wife are working on weekdays. Ugly truth is I took extra care not attach to my mom so much while we are spending our time. The main reason is I do not want her and also myself to feel sad from the scratch again like missing each other when she went back at the end. I let my wife to handle most of the stuffs for my mom from daily acts to needs. Even my wife and her parents asked me to talk to my mom more and be with her closely. I know that is for our own good and thanks them for the thoughts.

But for ourselves, I know well how my mom is and so I do not want her to remember these memories alot and all by herself since we only have each other. As expected, her face has a shadow of sadness before her return flight.

Some may think this is selfish and calculative but all these ( in my opinion) are for a good reason and I truly hoped my mom will understand inside as well.
