It was a pleasant surprise to receive an email from Irene in early January 2013, telling me that she and her husband were coming for another two months holiday. This was the second time Irene and Herbert escaped from minus ten degree, cold and gloomy Germany to a welcoming 16-degree and blue-sky Madeira Island. It was definitely a good trade.

After watching the famous movie Titanic, the teacher ordered the students to write a composition about what they had learnt from the movie. Momo, an eleven-year-old girl, who was the monitor of her class, helpful and studious, picked up her pencil once she arrived home after school, started to write her homework. Not until her mom called her to have dinner, did she come out of her room in a low mood.

Her mom felt weird, so after making Momo asleep, she took up Momo’s writing on the desk and read.

I saddled the horse and rode off away from the direction of Veers Kingdom. Suddenly I heard a voice…………I was scared and speeded up with the strong belief that I must run away the devil place, a place with no freedom!

So I guess this is the moment to say my goodbye.

It’s time to let go and move on with my life.

Sure I’ve been hurt before and my world was shattered into pieces,

but to continue loving you and to hope that you’ll love me too is absolutely pointless.

I don’t know when I fell for you, I didn’t even think it was possible,

    Eight months have passed and we are preparing to welcome a child once again... The feelings that I have was totally different from the last time.
