Magical Winter Night

It was a freezing winter night, and I was walking home. Mom and Dad were finally coming home from their long business trips. I have not seen them for months. I opened the gates to the front door. They were standing there, right at the doorway.

During the past months while they were gone, I was all alone, I told myself hundreds and thousands of times, that I am fine on my own and I don’t need them.

I said it so many times in my head, I was convinced that it was true. But when I saw them, standing there with their familiar gazes.

I couldn’t lie to myself anymore. I didn’t want to fake it anymore. I had miss them so much. Tears rolled down my cheeks, tears of joy.
