Surprise Package Arrived! From Taiwan With Love

Countdown check, it's 22 days before Christmas, and I bet most of you here have plans already for this coming holiday. Are you going out on a trip? Or will just celebrate with the family? That is really exciting especially if you are complete. But for me, who grows up in a broken family, see it as a normal day that will just pass right away. I get used to celebrating it in other families because my mom is not always with me. She's working miles away and I can't let her stay for good because we still have responsibilities on our shoulders, (my younger siblings) and a dream house that was still a dream.

How I wished to wake up one day, she is home with us, and no need to leave for work for money. (Sigh) If only we were a millionaire.

I don't know but, yesterday I felt something would happen. My mom keeps asking me where am I and tells me not to live the house no matter what. I feel excited and at the same time nervous because I was thinking someone will come and I hoped it was her when suddenly my phone rang and a man's voice on the other line spoke.

"Good day! Delivery for Ms. Kelzy. We're already here in front of your apartment"

I got confused and curious because I didn't order anything online and thought it was just a scam and a tactic, that they will force me to pay for the item and if I don't, they will post and humiliate me online.

"Sorry but I didn't order anything", I said.

"It was from Mrs. Kaely, I guess from your Mom because your surname was the same."

I chatted with mom to confirm if it was from her and she said yes. When I go out to see the delivery man I got shocked that it was a big box.

"Package delivery for Ms. Kelzy," the delivery man said again.

I greeted them and requested to carry the package to my unit, then I give them a tip for their service.

I was still surprised by the unexpected package yesterday, although it was not the first time because mom already sent a package before, but, it was all with my knowledge.

I thought at first it was just a prank, that mom was hiding inside and will suddenly shout "I gotcha!" but it was impossible because it was taped securely.

Mom messaged me and says "Advance Merry Christmas Zy! Open the box."

I don't know if I will be happy or not because I'm expecting the surprise is herself. I miss her so much every day, that I wished she will stay beside me always.

I called her and thanked her while crying, (look at that swollen eyes) huhu. She cried too and says "I will come home soon but for now let my gifts inside the box hug you. It's all from my blood and sweat, from many sleepless nights and sacrifices. I want to give my best for you and I hope you will all like it."

I'm so lucky to have a mother like her, and forever I will be grateful because I would be nothing without her.

Sorry if I was so dramatic. I just really miss my mom so much.

Unbox with me tomorrow? Stay tuned! :)
