Nostalgia

N :  Nostalgic memories of your early days still bring smile in my face 
O : Often you would lift your hands while lying in the bed indicating you wanted to be taken for a walk
S : Still remember that continuous cycling of legs, first time you crawled out of bed.
T : Talking continuously, your babbling was sweet music to ears.
A : Always up to some mischief, I had to keep an eye on you
L : Laughing for no reason, I vividly remember that enchanting toothless smile 
G : Gripping my fingers with your tender hands, Oh! what a tight clasp was that
I: Ignorant of your needs, I would sometime take hours to understand why you are crying
A : Amazing how time flies, you are 13 years old now.
