 I caught myself looking at other people’s kids in Hong Kong. I stopped myself from going up and taking them in my arms. I missed cuddling my own kid. I need not get a permission to do so. A cuddle is free and the returns are huge!
In their simplified world, babies asked only for a few things, however the love they give back to you is so great. A smile, a laugh and a look dissolves away feeling of anger, frustration and hurt. It is the simple things that count, really.
I look back upon those days away from her and I realized that I missed her for not just what she is but what she has been giving back to us – A purer meaning and feeling of love.
Dear Kid,
We would like to say thank you for being you. You are like a little bundle of happiness that fills our lives with even more love and joy. We are thankful to have a happy kid who beams at everyone around you. You made us happy and proud parents. You brought bliss to your grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins. You are a great little kid.
Love, Us
