An Angel in Tears

As wrong and heartbreaking as it sounds, Angels cry too... I saw one do so today morning. 

My mom 

What is it that makes mothers so emotional? Is it the love? Is it the care? The maternal instincts? 

But my dad loves me as much too... Does that mean he cries too? But I have seen him cry seldom. 

Why is it that she cries everytime I have to go? Considering that it is now a mere routine in our lives. I've been away from home for almost three years now and she still cries like it is my first time. 

Is she scared? Is she worried? 

But about what? I am a grown woman now... She knows I can take care of myself. She knows it pretty well and she agrees with it too. So then why is it that she cries? 

What triggers in her system everytime her or I have to leave? Is understanding women that difficult? But I am a woman too... And I don't cry with every goodbye. 

But I cry at the sight of her crying. Because she is my angel and angels shouldn't cry.
