The search is now on

We allowed our maid to call home once every 2 months. Two weeks ago, she called home and found out that her 73 years old mother was hospitalized. She teared at night and told me what happened. Being soft-hearted, I told her that I will get Sir (DC) to get her another calling card so that she could call back home to check on her mother's condition.

A few days later, about a day or two after her second call home, she told DC that she wants to go back to her country to look after her mother. Her mother suffered a stroke that caused her to be paralyzed at one side and couldn't speak now but was already discharged and at home. Her children are currently looked after by her mother and I guess it's now by her brother who occasionally visit. We had no choice but to let her go, her home needs her more than ours. It's such a pity she couldn't work until her contract is up. She is a rather good housekeeper.

So now, our search for a new maid is on! The current maid will leave end May (exactly her one year), we just have to get one after she leaves!
