Even before he was born he was loved. She was nervous when she first met him, because he was so tiny. She thought if she touched him, he would surely break. When those tiny little fingers first wrapped themselves around her little finger and held on, something magical happened. She felt like the luckiest person to have this little being in her life. Every worry and every stress was forgotten. It was pure happiness and bliss.
Pretty soon it was watching him run up to her, with the sweetest smile, when he saw her that gave her that warm, fuzzy feeling. It was always the little moments of laughter and giggles. It was even in the moments when she couldn't even eat a complete meal because he wanted her to carry him and take him somewhere. All of these moments spoke of an abundance of love.
She couldn’t remember what is was like discovering new things; the first glimpse of a plane flying overhead, the first interaction with a dog or cat, or the first time her feet touched the water at the beach. Just watching this little boy experience all these things for the first time made her smile and laugh.
She knew how difficult it was to find happiness in the world. There were conflicts between countries, corruption in governments, violent crimes plaguing the streets; but just spending time with an innocent child discovering the wonders of the world filled her heart with such love and happiness that all the bad things seem part of a different world.
