It seemed like just another day. But everything changed in the evening.
I was shocked and surprised by the unexpected news. My parents began discussions that lasted till midnight. However, I only heard that my little sister would stay with my grandparents for some time until my parents could find a good child care centre for her. The days passed by quickly. My parents had a long list of things to pack up before Dad’s transfer. I was saddened that my little sister would not be joining us in Kota Kinabalu. At the same time, I was happy that she was staying with my grandparents.
We finally settled into our new home, and my little sister joined us the following year. I was so overwhelmed to see how quickly she had grown.
