It was impossible to hide my emotions and amidst my despair and confusion, I saw his tears and fears and yet, he tried his best to comfort me by passing me a tissue paper and hugging me tight. His little hands patting my back seemingly telling me it’s all fine.
I never knew my 5-year-old has so much empathy but it was unfortunate that this realisation was made only because he was subjected to witnessing an act of insanity.
I don’t know what I’ll do without my little guy.
Oh my..! what happened..??

Hope you are feeling better already.. and your little boy does show a lot of empathy.. mine will just pretend she didn’t see anything.
