Unconditional
"She made some drawings for you thinking you are coming to see her," read a message from my aunt at 4:11 PM on 29th August 2021. Over the last few days, I had witnessed disregard and insensitivity. While claiming to care, the neglect was evident. While dependability was mentioned, the support was absent. A single endearing action made disappointments weighing me down disappear as my body was overcome with lightness. Thoughts such as "So she did not forget about me?" "How do I establish comfort and trust after a long absence?" and "I have not met her in 17 months, and she still made drawings for me?" crossed my mind. Making my way through a maze of people, I finally met my aunt, uncle, and two-year-old Noor at 'Wagamama' on 3rd Avenue.
