Met a very young girl today @ a wake.
She was 7, she is currently studying in st nicks, and we started chatting about the school. how things have changed, how somethings remain, she recited the school pledge which was once so familiar, she was like a link, a key which helped open a door which i have not frequent for a long long while.
We talked about recess, excursions, teachers, school bags.
And at the table among the big sisters ( i shant say aunts, altho she was my friend's niece), she came over and hugged me. I feel her cuddling body warmth. And before we left the wake, she told her aunt that when she grows up, she wants to be like me.
@ that moment, we all laughed.
And i was touched and flattered. It's a miraculous feeling. And i'm still smiling @ the tot of it.
