Hug Now, Cry Later

Departures at Suvarnabhumi in the second week of September, the grandparents' bags on a trolley and the family round them: later, when Mali walks, we'll go; tell them to come back at New Year; tell your father I'll keep the boat; sticky rice, to eat on the plane; I'll send a photo every day; hug now, cry later; Mum and Dad send their thanks; no need for thanks, just come back later: a promise for later.
