How a son misses his papah

Papah James was suddenly called back for a meeting. It has been more than a month since we left Bkk. Gooly has been asking to go back, so he could see his papah. His ultimate objective is to show his new loots obtained during Christmas and his birthday.

As I wasn't sure of Papah's schedule, I was reluctant to share the good news until everything was confirmed. Knowing him, he would want every detail. And he would go on and on and on, and ask again and again and again. Very scary indeed.

Alas, Papah called and told me his arrival details. Only then I was able to break the news to Gooly, the interrogator:

Me: Someone will come back today..

Him: Who?

Me: Papah *mock exaggerated surprised face*

Him: And then? *looking concerned*
(He was already worried that his papah would leave soon)

Me: You can show papah your toys. But he will have to go work tomorrow.

Him: Where?

Me: In Subang.

Him: Need to take plane or not?
(Still worried that his papah will be far far away)

Me: No need. Just drive.

Him: *Face relaxed and a smile finally came* He comes back at night again?

Me: Yes, he comes back at night.

And he went on planning and deciding what to tell and what to show to his papah.

I miss you.

He hasn't learned these words yet. But his eagerness and sorrow express the feeling much better than the plain "I miss you."

Hmm... the going on and on and on part, I can relate to. Yes, very scary.

Nice that Gooly will get to meet Daddy.

You must teach him to use the words "I miss you" - those are very powerful words!
