Walking to school with Erin and Faith

Two of the girls from the family of 5 kids next door study at the same school as Lynn.  Erin is P5, and Faith is P2. 

Erin came to our door the day before school start (in Jan), and asked if we would like her to take Lynn to school in the morning.  However, she goes to school very early (645); I never ask her why, I just assume she has duties to perform.  So we take Lynn there ourselves, at about 705.

Last week was school holidays, and Lynn had to be in school from 8 to 10 for chinese speech and drama class.  On Thurs, we meet Erin and Faith outside our homes, going to school too.  When we reach ground floor, Lynn wanted to follow follow them.  So I let her do so, telling Erin to help take care of her.

I went to get the car from the car park.  The path that I drive to work (my work place is at TPY Lor1) is the same path that the girls will walk to school.  I caught up with them when they were about 100m from the school gate.  I slowed down, stopped at the road side momentarily and whipped out my handphone.  I tailed them for a while, stopped again and took this pic of them when they were almost reaching the school gate.  Lynn's on the left of Erin and Faith's on the right.

It's a very simple and stright forward event, but I just can't describe the magical feelings when I watch, with anticipation and worry, of Lynn walking away from me to go to school without me...
