"Today is spring cleaning day !" mother
announced cheerily. Sharon and her sister
groaned. This could only mean one thing -- a lot
of hard work. However, they put on a brave smile
and got ready to work. They knew that their
mother needed their help. She was already
working two jobs to support them and had very
little spar time. So, they quickly got on with
the job. Sharon opted to clean the study while
her sister was asked to clean their room. While
dusting and rearranging the book and stuff in
the study, Sharon came across a picture of her
late father. It was a picture of them having a
wonderful day at the beach. Sharon felt tears
coming to her eyes. She really missed her
father. When her mother came in, Sharon quickly
wiped her tears and busied herself with the
shelves. She did not want to upset her mother.
She knew her mother missed him just as much as
her.
Sharon suddenly went to her mother and hugged
her tight. "What's wrong, Sharon ?" asked her
mother.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you that I love
you very much. Don't work too hard, Mum," said
Sharon. Her mother just smiled at her. After the
cleaning was over, they had a well-deserved
treat at McDonalds. |
