I Can Hear My Family’s Thoughts
As per my father’s offer, I decided to leave both my son and husband behind and go back home where I would become his little girl again.
That decision came after I heard my family’s true thoughts following my surgery.
My husband thought, “It was just a minor issue! Why did she stay in the hospital for so long? She’s back and has yet to do any chores. Can’t she see that my suit needs ironing?”
My son thought, “She spent so much money on that surgery, and now she’s even drinking my favorite yogurt! Why can’t she be a successful businesswoman like Sarah? All she does is stay in the house and act like a freeloader!”
My mother-in-law thought, “She had to come back right when I’m making chicken soup, of all times! She can just drink the dishwater for all I care.”
Feeling utterly disappointed, I turned around and closed the door. Then I called my father.
“Yes, it’s just me. I’m not bringing anyone.”
