“I thought I had just blinked for a moment, But it turns out I have aged like this. I thought you would always be my little baby, But it turns out you are almost grown up.”
I also thought I had just blinked, but now I hold you, my precious daughter, in my hands.
I also thought I had just blinked, but your grandmother’s hair has turned gray, her hands bear the marks of time.
Looking at my chubby little daughter in my arms, I can’t imagine the day when you will grow up and fly away from my embrace. Just the thought tightens my heart, I don’t want to be away from you even for a day. But life flows like a river, and it never flows backward. You will eventually become like me. Since you were a tiny baby, you needed me by your side, to see me, to hold onto my feet as we went everywhere.
From the time you start babbling, to when you go to school, to when you realize that your world is not just me, but full of colors. You will grow up, become independent, and move away from my embrace. A grown-up daughter must find a husband. I can’t hold you forever, I can’t expect you to always be by my side. You will also become like me, leaving the embrace of loved ones to seek your own life.
