You fixed your gaze on mine. Such a beautiful pair of big, blue eyes. You took a crawl or two, then your little hand wandered toward mine. In your own way, you showed me that you wanted my support—to give you balance, to trust you. Because first, you had trusted me.

Moments ago, this table was the stage of a board game, where your family played together. I was just a stranger nearby, engrossed in my own game with friends. But you—curious, fearless—wanted to experience the table firsthand. And so, with our support, you stood up and gazed.

The whole universe stretched before you. You took your time, feeling what it was like to stand tall, to see the world from a new height. You liked it. A radiant smile lit up your face, and just like that, you brightened my day.

In that moment, you forged a pure connection—without second thoughts, without hesitation, without mistrust or boundaries.

And just like that, you opened yourself to me, to the world, to your limitless possibilities. Your mind was free. Please, please, keep it this way.

Your mother stood nearby, smiling at your joy. She picked you up, thanked us for our patience, and carried you away.

But I have no doubt—you will grow into someone wonderful.
