going home
I would like to begin the year with a post of hope and sunshine.
Personally, 2009 is a fairly good year, though the work at the office is getting crazier. But hey, in these tough times, it's better to have some work than none.
This is a piece from my 2009 NaPoWriMo archives. I have not done any revisions to it, though I think that it can be improved.

going home
In the train going home, my daughter fell asleep in my lap. Minutes earlier, she was colouring pictures in a book, her face determined, intense. I did not know that Mickey Mouse had a red face, but that's how a six year old girl pictured it. The crayon was still in her hand, and I gently removed it, packed it back in the box of colours and kept it in her bag with the book and bottles. Even in the cool air, her face was warm, and I wiped perspiration off it. Holding her, I settled down in the seat for the journey home.
And that was when I saw the lady in the opposite seat smiled at us.

About the drawing. It is from the cover of a card, done in color markers, by my daughter when she was about six years of age. It is a bit yellowed now, but I am still keeping it. :)
