What tears apart any mother’s heart the most is seeing harm approaching her children, and realizing that her little ones are forced to bear responsibilities far beyond their small capacities.
Today, in biting cold and weather ready for rainfall, my little one went out early, waiting until six in the morning in front of the water distribution truck. Every passing minute felt like a stab in my heart, a feeling of helplessness washing over me as he stood there alone.
What deepened my pain even more was that his attempt to get water was met with meaningless conditions; they insisted on photographing him while filling the water. His hope was crushed, his little spirit broken. He returned home unable to come near me, shattered by disappointment, without the strength to tell me that he couldn’t bring the water
I went out to search for him, and the moment I met his eyes, tears welled up in them. His gaze said it all before he spoke: “I’m sorry, Mama, I couldn’t bring the water
I held him close to my chest, trying to ease the weight of the pain in his small heart. I wept silently inside, while forcing a shaky smile on my face that hid the truth. I told him I could buy the water today, but the truth is that I am powerless—powerless to protect him from this harsh reality, powerless to extinguish the sense of disappointment that fills his pure little heart
