128:True Memories[2]

On a fine sunny day…

Irina sat at the kitchen table, slicing fresh fruit for breakfast, as Leon bounded into the room, his eyes filled with excitement. "Mom, look what I found in the garden today!"

Irina asked, lovingly, "What did you find, sweetheart?"

"Look! A ladybug! It's so tiny and cute. Can I keep it?

"

Irina smiled warmly, setting down the knife to give Leon her full attention "Of course, you can, Leon. But remember, it's important to treat all living creatures with kindness and respect."

Leon nodded eagerly, his eyes sparkling with gratitude "Thanks, Mom. I'll take good care of it, I promise."

Then he ran away but paused briefly, he looked at Irina and screamed"You are the best Mom."

The scene dispersed and Irina found herself sinking into another scene.

Irina and Leon sat together on a cozy window seat, watching the snowfall outside, wrapped in blankets and each other's warmth.
