I picked you up late today so I just bought cooked food for dinner since I wouldn’t have time to prepare for one this evening. And because it was late (almost 8!), the bus was crowded albeit thankfully, you were still able to get a seat. I stood before you, with both my arms and my shoulders loaded. You told me to hold the post but your expression turned reflective when you realised my hands were full. 

And then you uttered the sweetest words: 

“Mommy, I’ll carry that for you”.  

Well. You just made me the happiest mother. Thank you anak and continue to grow well.
