The moment Lala heard the familiar footsteps at the door, her little heart began to race. For many days, she had been waiting, missing the warmth and comfort of her mother’s embrace. Every morning she would glance toward the window, hoping that today would be the day Mom returned. And finally, that long-awaited moment had arrived.
As soon as the door opened, Lala’s eyes widened, sparkling with joy. “Mom!” she shouted, her voice trembling with excitement. She dropped everything she was holding and sprinted across the room with tiny, quick steps. Her little arms stretched wide, ready to wrap around the one person she missed most.
Her mom barely had time to set her bag down before Lala threw herself into her embrace. The hug was tight, filled with all the longing and love that had been building up during the days apart. Tears of happiness welled up in her mother’s eyes as she gently stroked Lala’s hair, whispering, “I missed you so much, my sweet girl.”
For Lala, the world felt whole again. The waiting, the lonely moments, the nights she went to bed thinking about her mom—all of it melted away in that single hug. She buried her face into her mother’s chest, breathing in the familiar scent that made her feel safe and loved.
They both laughed and cried at the same time, unable to let go. Lala kept repeating, “I love you, Mom! Don’t leave me again for so many days.” Her mom smiled through her tears, promising that she would always come back to her, no matter how far she had to go.
That day, the house filled with laughter, chatter, and the sound of togetherness. Lala’s happiness burst out in giggles and bright smiles, and her mom’s heart swelled with gratitude for their unbreakable bond. After many days apart, they were finally together again—and in that moment, nothing else in the world mattered.
