Once she told me, after an exhausting day, not in a complaining way, that I had been busy every summer vacation and left her alone to take care of our son since he was born. That is true and I felt guilty. After that, I tried to decline and put off appointments and affairs during the summer vacation and accompany them, but there would always be several weeks I was away from them.
This summer, I had the opportunity to study in Yale and my wife encouraged me to apply for it. So I did, here am I, and leave them again. My wife is a college teacher, having over 16 classes each week, and also a mother and wife, taking care of us and doing family chores almost singlehandedly. She is a gifted dancer, has a good taste of life, but for the family sacrifices herself.
My wife also told me that I should spare more time with our son while he is still a child. Time flies; once he grows up and has his own family, the time spent with him as a little boy will be one of our best memory. That is true.
I am blessed to have a happy family, and must cherish what I have.
