Little Linda watched Mom move away to do her work.
To Mom, it was just a short moment.
But to Linda—
It felt too long.
At first, she stayed still, her tiny eyes following every movement.
“Eee…?”
A soft, confused sound.
But when Mom didn’t come back right away—
Her face crumbled.
Her lips trembled.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Linda burst into a heart-breaking cry, her voice loud and full of emotion. Her tiny body shook as she sobbed, unable to hold it in.
“Eee! Eee!”
She reached forward, calling out, wanting Mom to come back and hold her.
She didn’t understand work.
She only understood distance.
Her cries echoed, deep and emotional, filling the space with her longing.
Mom heard her.
Even while working, she spoke gently, reassuring Linda with her voice.
Then, she came closer and gently picked her up.
Instantly—
The crying softened.
Linda clung tightly, her body relaxing as she felt safe again.
Now calm in her arms, her heartbreak faded away.
For little Linda, even a short moment apart feels overwhelming—but love and reassurance always bring her back to comfort.
