Chapter 1

My childhood was full of dead ends and broken dreams.

After a while, you stop expecting anything from anyone.

At least that way, you may spare the pain from your aching heart.

Tomorrow will be better, I guess.


If I could change it all... Then would I?

What good would it do? The pain had to stop for one of us.

I really never wanted her to die.

Tomorrow seems unbearable.


Still, every single footstep haunts me.

Still, each breath I took surrounds me.

How could she leave us like this?

Today I am numb.


They can wash the walls and change the sheets.

I do hope this place gets a second chance, unlike us.

It was too late for mum and I.

Today I feel anger.


I was a good son and what we had was precious.

She was a good mum, in her own way.

How could I do this to her?

Yesterday brings me sadness.


She was so damaged, for so long.

If the crying never ends, then how can the pain stop?

Oh mother what have I done?

For yesterday, I have remorse.


This is for I, one who misses a parent.

This is for I, one who misses a sister.

This is for I, one who misses a friend.


Sincere best wishes
