One unexpected result of motherhood is my newfound appreciation of humanity. What is the source of this newfound appreciation?

His eyes.

When I look into his eyes I see so much light. So much love. So much innocence, cuteness, happiness, joy. All things positive and magical. And now I find myself looking at loved ones, friends, colleagues and perfect strangers, and imagining them when they were little babies and their eyes (and hearts) were big and cute and innocent, just like Dasan’s. And it makes me love them. Even if I have never met them or spoken to them. When I imagine them as this cute little baby, and I see them looking at me all bright-eyed and bushy-taled, I feel that sparkle of joy in my heart for them.
