AS I was walking home with all my bags, I said to myself,'If only A was here, I wouldn't have to carry all this heavy stuff on my own. If only A was here, I wouldn't have to do things alone.' He was always there to help me. Don't get me wrong, before I met A, I was this strong independent woman who would think twice before asking anybody for help. Nevertheless, as A and I got together, I became dependent on him on a lot of things. Now that he is off to another country, I have to do everything by myself. I guess this must be how all those women left by their men during the war felt. All of a sudden, they must do things that they have never tried before. Well, history proved that they can do it!
