The Seven Year Itch: a Mother's Awakening

Lin Zhiyu spent seven years living as a stranger in this family. In her husband's eyes, she is the wife who is always working overtime. In his son's memory, she is the mother who always "will definitely come next time." According to her mother-in-law, she is the woman who "doesn't care about her family". She didn't defend herself or look back. Because she believes that one day, when she stands at a high enough place, everyone will understand her absence today. But before that day came, she received a note from her son: "Mom, can you pick me up from school today? Just once." The note was stuffed into her bag three months ago. She just found it today. Some absences, once they occur, can never be made up for. But some people still want to try.
