See son off

Hot 1462 views. 2014-1-15 21:43 | beginning, midnight, forward, morning, several


At dawn yesterday I accompanied son to Changchun Railway Station seeing him off to Dalian. He had stayed at home for a week since the beginning of his holiday. He had been looking forward to the coming of his trip to Dalian. The day before he took a bath and packed a change of underclothes and books. I hadn’t been able to fall asleep the first half of the night for fear that I might get up late next morning. Then after midnight I woke several times to see if it was time to rise. I got out of bed with determination before five o'clock am although I was sleepy. Soon son also got up. After having breakfast quickly, we checked out each object we should carry to see that all necessities weren’t left behind. Then we headed for the bus station in the twilight.

You would not be totally asleep unless you have something to wake you up at a chosen time because your brain would need to check the time intermittently. However, I believe you have natural alarm like rooster crowing in the early morning. I suggest you buy a low cost radio alarm to wake you up to the morning news.

Youngsters travelling is always a worry for parents. I trust you have reminded him of the risks of travelling and he would keep in touch with you. Anyway, travelling is good for him.

Although son had set the alarm clock at five, I couldn't sleep soundly as before. Yes, I was worried about his safety on the journey. It was a pity that I was refused to enter the waiting room when he was admitted, let alone escort him onto the bullet train. I was in suspense until he sent me messages that he had got on the train first and then arrived at his destination and been met by his uncle.
