Day 23 : Last Chance

Taufik was sitting up in bed with baby Izani wriggling on his tummy yesterday. Izani couldn't decide whether he wanted to sleep or he wanted milk, so Taufik stroked the baby's head and back to calm him down.
Taufik commented on how soft Izani's hair is and how tiny and chubby his hands are.
Then he grew quiet for a while before I hear him say softly, almost to the baby or himself,
"Last Chance.
No more babies after this.
No more holding babies in my arms"
I tried to detect a note of relief or something.. as in "no more babies, therefore, no more problems".
But then I heard
"I will never get to experience this again after this, so this is my last chance."

It just brought tears to my eyes.
Sometimes he can be so sweet.
