This afternoon, Ate asked me to sleep beside Lia who was taking her afternoon nap on our makeshift daybed. We've slept for a good one whole hour when Lia cried for milk. After I gave her a bottle, she turned and went back to sleep. She placed her arms around my neck and fell asleep hugging me.
As I looked at her tiny face and smelled her milky breath, I felt the great urge to pray. So I did. "God, I would like to stay in this moment forever. Please give me a thousand and one more of these feelings I am feeling right now. Please teach me to be the person that Lia would like to hug and feel safe with. Please never let this end."
