2 months after Button left with his newly adopted parents, he came back for a follow up at the Paeds Clinic. One of my colleagues spotted him there and told me about it. While I was contemplating on finding a lame excuse to go down to the clinic just to say hi to him, my colleague told me that the family had brought him up to the ward.
Excited, I ran over to the ward to greet him but to my surprise, Button had barely any recollection of us. He seemed to have stranger anxiety and was clinging on to his new dad with a fretful face. He looked at us in white coats with total apprehension unlike previously when we were his only friends and caretakers. Never once did he flash us the “oh-so-cute” smile that used to melt our hearts while he was under our care.
Sigh..I guess he was just too young to have memories yet…
How disappointing. However, Button, I forgive you…
…for not remembering any of us, and for not smiling.
May you have a beautiful life ahead of you with your newfound family…
Haha
