I was still holding her when she felt asleep. The sunshine was illuminating her beautiful face. She looked like an angel. She was so full of peace.
I was yet amazed of how easy it had been. I was terrified at the idea of even trying to do it before. But it all turned out so good in the end. I didn’t know how, but I’d managed to get enough courage and just do it.
She was so quite. I didn’t want to let her go. I wanted to feel her for some more minutes. Neither of us was moving. It felt as if the time had stopped for both of us.
Suddenly, a voice calling my name broke into the room. I stood up slowly and placed her in her cradle. While I did so, I could see her smile getting smaller. I kissed her in her forehead and left the room.
