It may have lasted only a second, she may have run away to hide her face, not wanting to show anyone, yet I saw it all.

The face of a mum saying goodbye to her youngest child, for God knows how long… well, you can all imagine what I saw.

Happiness, pride, sadness, love , all the emotions that kick in instantly with maternal instinct.

“Will it be the same for me?”

“Will my child leave me too in her teens, following in their mum’s footsteps?”

I believe so.

And then, they will see this face, the one I saw today.
