Just the other day, I was waiting in the car for my son to come out of the shop. (I can do that now that he's old enough. Alhamdulillah)
Anyway, as I was sitting there I glanced across at the little play area they have outside the Co-op. They have those noisy, nursery rhyme playing, mechanical rocking horses that toddlers can't seem to get enough of. I saw a man leaning against the wall carrying a little baby. He was totally absorbed! He had eyes only for the baby and my heart was suddenly flooded with emotion as he kissed the baby so very tenderly that his eyes closed, and then opening his eyes, he smiled at the baby with so much love. My eyes filled with tears.
Thank you Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala) for reminding me that there are still some men who know how to love their children.

I also feel very touched when I see fathers loving holding their kids. I think it's very cute!
