The thing about children
Okay, so that was a short lived absence.
Sometimes when you just don't know where or how to 'unleash the demons of the mind', blogging always provides some sort of unexplainable solace.
Anyway, the Lord knew that I needed a hug and just as I was struggling to learn how to hug myself to sleep, he gave it to me in the sincerest of forms-a child's.
"Anuciaaaaaaaaaa......!", Jaspreet shreiked as I unlatched Taren's gate. "Taren Pehn,Anucia came!"
I was so overwhelmed by the way she ran out to me and hugged me oh so very tightly-it was like she knew. God sent, almost-that it made me teary-eyed. And I believe so for I would have missed her if I came any later. I promised to pick Taren up at 8pm, but I arrived at 7.15pm,just 5 minutes before Jaspreet left her cousin's house.
In that five minutes,she held me tight and asked me why I never came around. The pre-schooler looked me straight in the eye and said that she missed me, kissed me when I came in and before her mom picked her up. When you're surrounded by the innocence of a child, what more can you ask for?
I'll confess that I'm not one to surround myself with children as Pied Piper did with rats. I have a few young cousins that I absolutely cannot stand and one that I adore-but none at that irresistable age of the children in 'Kids Say The Darndest Things'. so I guess you could say that I don't bother to talk to/about these little 'annoying scums'as I would normally term them. But I do like kids though, when they come to me that is-and we all know what an unapproachable person Anucia is.
Excuse the digression.
It was a real good feeling to have Jaspreet squeeze me like she did. For a second, I saw the face of God in her. Though she may not know what she did for me, I'm grateful to that little girl and I will always remember her as the kid who showed me love in one of my greatest time of need,when I least expected it. Thank you, Jaspreet.
