The expectation is dwindling,

The confusion is gone,

Acceptance is here,

and the waiting is finally over...

Just a child?

I was just walking along the void deck of my block with hwa chin two days ago and decided to check if NCC had send us our long overdue cheques..

We just got back from IKEA and I was holding on to a lot of things so when we opened the mailbox, I grabbed the big pile of letters and threw it onto the floor so that I could sort them out on the ground.. I was just sorting out the letters into three piles: the landlord's, ours and those to be thrown away..

suddenly I could see a figure running towards me from the corner of my eye... before I could turn, the hand of a young boy in school uniform, he was a down-syndrome child.. I realised, reached out for the pile that was 'ours'. Thinking that he was just excited to see letters (you know... kids), I muttered " That's our letters"

He then let go of the pile of letters he was holding on to, stacked them onto the landlord's pile... promptly after that he reached out for the pile to be thrown away... I wanted to tell him that I wanted to throw that away and he could have them if he wanted to... but to my surprise he stacked that pile onto the pile he previously created... and ran away.. I managed to catch a glimpse of his smile.. only then that I realised he wasnt excited by letters or just being plain 'kid-like'...

He was merely helping me to pick up the letters he thought I had dropped onto the floor... I was definitely dumbfounded and I couldnt help smiling after being touched by such an adorable act of a child... =)

Tell me... how sweet was that...? grinz...
