          I’ve been so busy lately, that I almost forget this touching and inspiring moment.

          I was alone waiting for bus at a station. Along came a young mother and her daughter, sitting on the bench next to me. I guess the daughter is not more than 4 years old, really cute and adorable, two little ponytail swinging as she walked. The mother sat the little girl on the bench, took out 2 buns and started eating with her. The little girl happily took her bun and licked the layer of icing ontop of the bun, totally enjoying herself in her own little world.   

          The mother was eating her own bun too, but eyes never leaving her daughter.  As the daughter looked up and smile at her mom, the mother looked back and returned her with a very loving smile. Suddenly my eyes were tearful (can you believe me?), deeply touched by just that simple smile (thank God I was wearing my sunglass). What a wonderful sight that was! I was witnessing such a beautiful moment… such a beautiful world of two! Just that smile, you can feel the unlimited interaction between the two souls; you can feel the selfless love that was surrounding them. And as I was watching them, I imagined the coming days: daughter growing up… having her own friends… having her own life… getting married… having her own children; while the mother, growing old, but the loving smile never fades whenever she thinks of her little daughter…

          Haven’t we all had that moment before? When we were still so young and liked to cuddle in our parents’ arms? When we would chuckle so loud when we were lifted up high? When nobody else we would want to turn to when we fell but our parents?

          They may be naggy and grumpy today; they may be demanding and controlling at times.

          But… Remember that once upon a time, a very loving smile used to appear…

          And that was the starting of a never-ending, never-dying love…

P.S. It may not be anything special to anyone… but…

I guess I’m missing home.
