The Little Women

Heal my darling, heal. I know it’s been tough, I know it won’t be easy, But heal, darling. Forgive. Your children and your husband deserve the best of you. You deserve the best of you. Please know that you won’t ever get through anything by your own anymore. Please know that you are loved, You’re precious, and enough.  Please know that you’re enough in spite of everything. For anything you went through, And anything you’ll go through. Please know that we love you still, And will pray for you always. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 25 Juni 2023.

I believe babies are a very intelligent beings That goes as far as when they were still in their mother’s womb. You see, as a sensitive person, That sensitiveness heightened a lot more during my pregnancy. Everyday is like a roller coaster, The mood is an ever-changing weather that differs from the last hour to the next. The hormones, the emotions, the tears, And what did my baby do? He listens. He listen to every cry, intentionally. He listens attentively. My baby stop his movements whenever I cry and listens, he then resume moving the moment it goes away. Like a soothing, gentle pat on the back. And he does that repeatedly. It’s a wonder to me still, sometimes. I love you, baby. I love you so, so much and I will only love you even more.

To live is to free your mind And be welcoming Of any possibilities, any outcomes, Even any problems that might arise. To live is to surrender To any fates that He bestowed upon us For He has his own reasons, And it will always be for the best. To live is to enjoy The delight that life offers The delights of love, The delights of laugh, The delights of time,  Even the delights  of distance. For it reminds us always of what important the most. Our loved ones. To live, Is to love. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 3 Juni 2023. Hari Sabtu, pukul 6 pagi.
