I didn't believe people cried. I didnt believe that they were heartbroken when they left their babies in the care of strangers. I have heard stories but still all I could see was my tears, my pain and my heart being broken every time he cried, every time I left him screaming in some one else's arms and I was asked to just leave and close the door.
I saw it today. I saw the tears of a heartborken mother going back to her car just as I was leaving.She was fighting her tears, trying hard to swallow them. I stopped for a moment and looked at her. I wanted to hug her and say that it'll be allright,that things will get better. But I couldn't. How could I, when things are still not better for me. He still cries every morning when we drop him. Just when he seems to settle down, he catches some bug or the other, last week it was the vomiting bug then it is conjunctivits. Cough and cold are permanent residents of his body. So I just stood there hoping she'll be allright.
Oh, if only there was a balm for broken hearts !!
