I got out of the bus and looked at familiar streets. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/62dd43/620x0/1/0/2024/11/09/b94txnpem8wmxrw5gqknzgi1d45fpatd9bwpxyyp.jpg" alt = "woman @pexels" styles = "background-color: rgba (180,171,160,1)" > < p > I imagined this moment & ndash; back to home, to my family, to my old life.
< p > I spent 15 years abroad, licking day and night so that my children have everything I never had.
< p > I worked as a babysitter, cleaner, cook & ndash; I did everything to send them money.
< p > that they have a better life.< p > that they lacked nothing.
< p > but now, when & oacute; I was & hellip; I was unnecessary. < p > When I opened the door, the smell of dinner was floated in the apartment. Foreign dinner. It wasn't my kitchen. They were not my things. < p > in the corner of the suitcases & ndash; My suitcases. And then I saw my c & oacute; rk.< p > looked at me as she looks at the unannounced guest.
< p > — Mom ? Why didn't you let you know ?< p > — I thought you were waiting for me.
< p > silence.< p > — You know & Hellip; We have our lives here.
< P >My heart killed me more. < p > — Children, I'm at home! & Amp; MDASH; I called, hoping that they would be happy. < p > in the room appeared M & oacute; j son. < p > ur & oacute; Sł. I didn't see him growing up. < p > I have not seen his first work, his first love, his important moments. < p > He looked at me as a stranger.< p > — Mom, what are you going now ? — asked.
< p > I blinked.
< p > — Like what ? wr & oacute;
< p > — Well, & Hellip; But where do you intend to live ?
< p > where I intend to live ? it was m & oacute; j house. It was my life.
< p > and yet & hellip; There was no more place for me. < p > — After all, & Hellip; I sent you money. Everything I had was for you. < p > — And we are grateful to you — she said c & oacute; tone that you thank someone for a favor.< p > for a favor. And I gave them my life.
< p > — Maybe & Hellip; Maybe better if you hired something ? — Son proposed. & Amp; MDASH; You still have some savings, right ?< p > I looked at him in shock. Savings ? I had nothing. I gave everything.
< p > I understood one thing at the time. I only needed when I was far away. When I was sending money. When I gave up to make it easier for them.Now, when Wr & Amp; Oacute; < p > I was a problem.
< p > I don't know where p & oacute; I don't know what I will do now.
< p > but one thing I know for sure.< p > I will never devote myself to people who could not even wait for me.
