raine in the rain - 4 This jacket that Raine is wearing is his only decent jacket.

This wasn’t cheap.

I got it in early January 2009 as a belated birthday gift to Raine.

We were just lucky that the only real department store in the city had this in stock.

It’s a shade of green because green is Raine’s favorite color.

Now I am both angry and sad.

Because today, Raine lost it in school. He had to come back this afternoon to search for it. With no luck. He’ll search again tomorrow, he said. But I’m not very optimistic.

GRRRRRR. I’m so angry at you Raine! You don’t seem to care about your stuff. But I do. I do care a lot. And it pains me. Because you think I can buy another right away. I just can’t Raine. Not right away. And whether we get another one some time later, it just won’t be the same. The face towels, pencils, hats and what-nots that you lose everyday…I can let those pass with a shrug. But not this time Raine.  When it rains tomorrow and every day after that, you’ll be reminded that you lost this nice jacket of yours and it’s completely your fault alone.

Galit pa rin ako. Kainis talaga.
