"I never had what is called "maternal feelings". Little children always seemed to me as small human beings. Not "cute", or "lovely" or "charming" as so many time people, especially women, call them.
Avigail ,barely standing on her little feet ,looked at me shyly and ran away. A moment afterwords, her curiosity over flowed her and she turned again towards me, while i was looking at her warmly, having no intention to scare her.
She took a couple of brave steps, clung to her fathers feet and then faced me again.This time, she stared deeply into my eyes as if she felt a need to know me by a single stare..
Then she took my open plams in hers,keeping the balance of her tiny feet and leaned forward, touching my forehead with hers. Her stare was steady yet playful and whole.
The complete trust she gave me, a stranger, touched my heart. It seemed this trust was absolute..a risk she took so bravely. She had no doubt, she decided and just let go..and that was that...she needed no one to tell her about me,she need not hear me talk about me.. at that moment,it was that happiness of something so innocent and brave."
