A little girl without Mama

Few days ago, when I was taking bus home from the China Town in Flushing, New York. I over-heard this conversation between 2 grandma in the bus, they just stood in front of me. Grandma A was hugging her grand daughter on her chest (I believe this little girl is at least 3-4 years old), grandma B was the friend of grandma A.

This conversation is translated from mandarin, and I just cut the long story short.

Grandma B: Hey...how you doing, long time no see, you doing good???

Grandma A: Tired, really tired...I really don't feel like taking care these kids...I'm just so tired!!!

Grandma B: Where's the mama?

Grandma A: Ran away already...(then she started to sniff...I can see the tears in her eyes as our distance was very close)...nobody can help her dad if I don't help him, he needs to work to survive the family. Otherwise, I would go back to China already...

Grandma B: I'm so sorry...take it easy..easy...don't be sad...

The little girl: Grandma...are we going home for lunch???

Grandma A: Yeah...

***************************************

I always think kids without mom and dad are the saddest thing in the world. May be I have the same experience, so I know the feeling. When I heard about this conversation, my heart was so painful, my heart was crying too.

The little girl, she looks so innocent and pretty...I really feel so sorry for her; at the same time I'm touching that her grandma is so mercy and mighty, she is still willing to help and take cares this girl and her other siblings.

I hope and pray for them, for the grandma to stay healthily, for the little girl to be a happy and good person in the future. And lastly, for all the mama-will never never never leave their kids behind.
