Children's Day

When you are a kid, eveything is simple. You believe in Santa Claus, flying reindeer and gifts appearing out of the blue by the window. It is a time of miracles and magic. Then, you get older. Somehow, things start to change. The magic begins to fade. Until something happens that reminds you, during Children's day, that miracles can still be found. Sometimes, they are to be found in the most unexpected places.
Today I gave my younger brother a comic book. He simply loved it. In the afternoon, he woke me up with 'his' gift. He gave me a candy.
I stood there, motionless. I gave him a hug. Someway, I realized he thought I was a child, too. And, for a split second, I felt like a kid I had once been.

Happy Children's Day :)

Wonderful text!
See... I can't be an adult 24 hours a day.
I grew up, I have reponsibilitys, but there is a little girl inside me that never goes away. And that girl keeps me hopeful, happy and alive.

see you around

Essas pequenas-grandes emoções são os que nos mantém vivos.

It's really wonderful to see the innocence that a child has, though we are adults, we must keep a little of this innocence in our hearts. I should never let die our inner child!
