Christie Learns What Priority is...

[Christie and her 'lil brother, Christo, my two angels] 

My only niece, Christie, was quite upset with me today. She is mad because I could not attend her performance during her year-end school concert, as I promised her. It's almost a week since she kept on reminding me to attend the concert, and she even bought a ticket for me from her own pocket money. The reason was because suddenly this morning my dad's condition was in need for immediate attention and I took in charged to stay at the hospital. 

I was trying to explained it to her on this reason. But guess that she is still too small to understand it. I told her that this time her aunty need to prioritize to stay with her "opung" instead seeing her performance and I feel so sorry to break my promise to her. 

She is still kind of ignore me 'till she left the hospital. I felt sad to disappoint her today since we are very close, and I always grant her wishes. Hope that one day she will understand about what priority is. For my sweetie, when you grow older you need to be smart in choosing your priority in life. Sometimes it takes courage to do what needs to be done, and that may hurt someone that we love and care.
