Desolation

I just feel guilty to ask anyone if he/she could send me back home on Tuesdays and such. And, I find it hard to tell them mom is not well. Anaemia and muscular aches being the main causes of her illness, she gets tired when on the road. Worse still, when she drives at night, she can hardly see anything. Like sand thrown into her eyes, that's how she puts it. That's one of the reasons why our car had a nasty accident some time back. By June I can start driving on my own, and I wouldn't have to burden anyone anymore. To all of you whom I have asked for a lift back, I don't know if you'd ever believe me, and I'm sorry to have burdened you.

I hope and pray mom gets better. That is one of the things I ask for now. I just want her to get better, her blood to flow normally again, her eyesight to recover. And if I'm capable of driving, I pray that I drive safely, so that I would be able to make it to and fro on my own, and that I would not be a burden to anyone. I feel like a beggar, especially towards the end of Sunset Band practices. And the people who send (and have sent) me back are angels ; they go all out of the way, to send me home, oblivious of the time spent.

Derrick and Uncle Luques, I don't know if you would ever pass this article by, but if you do, please read this and forgive me.
