My daughter asked me to take care of my grandson for two weeks while she went on a work trip. However, when I opened the bag she left behind, it seemed like she wasn’t planning to come back. The bag was packed with clothes and almost all of the child’s toys and medications. I tried calling her, but she didn’t answer. Weeks later, I finally got a video call from her. She explained that she had been struggling and needed to get away to focus on her mental health. She was in a place for counseling and support, and though I was hurt and angry, I understood her need for help. She promised to get better and return when she was strong enough. After the call, I held my grandson close, hopeful that one day his mother would return, ready to be the mother he needed.
