I must say Natalie is really good at tugging the heartstrings. Chris and I were both down with flu and had no choice but to quarantine her at mum's place. We would spend the evening with her and when it's time for us to leave, she would show a really sad face and gave us each a hug saying, "miss you" and "carry carry, go home" at the same time. We told her mummy and daddy had to go see a doctor and take medications. Once we recovered, we could then bring her home with us. She actually understood! And stopped her relentless struggle of wanting to follow us home. She even told our helper to bring her to the room so she could wave goodbye to us and see us drive off from the parking lot.
Not knowing this beforehand, we were about to drive off until Chris heard her calling out to us. Our hearts broke as she gave us a high five each and consoled herself by saying, "wait wait oh... Mama papa come back, come back!" Reminding us to come fetch her home soon. It was so difficult for us to leave her then... She stretched her little hand out to wave goodbye and stuck her face as far out as she could between the window grill so she could watch her parents drive off into the night...
