he tried to stop her from continuing telling me about it, (which she didn't) and he broke into tears. at that instant, it reminded me of the time when i just started teaching him, where he often broke down whenever he met with a question he did not know how to do. that left me really drained after every session, and.. at one point of time, i wanted to let go.

if not, how'd i have seen how much he could achieve?

i'm really so proud of him, being able to read so much more today compared to day we started.
throughout the days we fumbled together, cried together (sessions with him left me in tears during a period of time), we grew closer together beyond being a teacher and student.

throughout the days and sessions, he began opening up, sharing about his days with me and the troubles he has within him. i felt like i gained a little brother, a sibling i've always wanted when i was younger. at the same time, i felt like i gained a friend. similar to how he shares with me, i share with him about my life too and answer his endless queries about my life.

i have no idea if this is goodbye.. but whatever it is, i hope to see y'two continue to shine with this precious innocence of yours.

love you two.
