My little boy has just left to the open outside world

To me, my 2nd youngest son is still that little boy who used to hold my hand tightly and to hug whenever we go out anywhere. The fact that he is now not so little is immaterial. He will always be my little boy. In fact, all my children seem like that way to me. I don't see them as grown human beings but forever etch as my little girls and little boys. I still have one who is still little .. some might say she's not that little (she's nine going 10 soon).

I must give credit to my children that eventhough they are not that little anymore, they rarely try to drastically change my perception or to force me to accept the new realities.

I hope they will forever stay as my pure and lovable little girls and little boys forever. I am so blessed, thank you Allah.
