Being separate from the people we love is sad. For me it was especially sad to be separated from my newborn baby girl for a long period of time. Every day I was counting the days of separation left and not the days of separation past. The past is ours no more and the future is not ours yet. We only have the present and it is in the present where we could choose how to deal with the past and with the future.
I have never lost contact with my baby girl during the time of our separation. I have been calling her every evening talking to her over the phone, experiencing her experiences at the daycare centre as well as her struggles not to drop food on the floor during her dinner times when usually I was calling home.
Finally, one day the separation time was over and I came back home. The first five minutes my daughter was a little bit distant looking from the photographs of me on the table and back to my face. She finally approached me and showed me her little hand where someone at the daycare placed a small sticker with a picture of a girl on it and said to me “princess”. I said to her “It is beautiful buy you are my princess and I love you very much”. She smiled and I smiled too.
Since then we can’t stay separated for too long and we are sad no more.
