JY and I decided to send Lauren to China to live with her maternal grandparents for awhile.
It was not an easy decision to make, as you can well imagine.
I’ve grown used to waking up to her cries, seeing her in the morning, and her big smiles when I get home.
JY and I have quite a few things to do before we bring Lauren back. We need to sell our current house, buy a new house in a neighborhood with better schools, maybe for JY to work closer to where I work, and prepare for Lauren #2.
We could’ve done all these while Lauren’s still here, but it would be much harder. Plus, her grandparents adore her, and they were the ones suggested that they take care of her while we get our house in order.
We originally planned for JY and I to bring Lauren back to Shanghai together. However, JY developed a severe case of stomach flu the day before our scheduled departure, and she had to stay home to get some blood work done.
So I took on the responsibility of bringing Lauren to China myself.
To Be Continued.
