The house was quiet and dark as midnight arrived. Everyone was supposed to be asleep, but baby monkey and Mom were still awake. The peaceful night suddenly felt much lonelier than usual because both of them were thinking about someone very special—Lala.
Baby monkey was curled up beside Mom, tossing and turning restlessly. No matter how hard he tried to close his eyes, sleep wouldn’t come. He looked toward Mom with sad, tired eyes, as if he was searching for comfort.
Mom gently pulled him closer and wrapped her arms around him.
She could tell exactly what was wrong.
They both missed Lala terribly.
As the clock moved deeper into the night, Baby Monkey became more emotional. He quietly reached for Mom’s hand and held it tightly. Mom stroked his head, trying to comfort him, but the memories of Lala made her heart ache too.
Soon, tears began rolling down their faces.
Mom tried to stay strong for Baby Monkey, but she couldn’t hide her sadness. She remembered all the happy moments they had shared with Lala—the laughter, playful days, and little adventures that once made the house feel so full of life.
Baby Monkey seemed to remember them too.
He became even more emotional and nestled against Mom’s chest. Mom gently whispered comforting words to him, reminding him that the love they shared with Lala would always remain in their hearts.
For a while, neither of them said anything. They simply held each other in the quiet room.
Sometimes, missing someone can feel especially painful at night. During the day, there are always things to keep the mind busy. But when everything becomes silent, memories can suddenly feel much stronger.
Mom kissed Baby Monkey gently on the head.
“We can miss Lala together,” she whispered softly.
Baby Monkey slowly relaxed in her arms. Although he was still sad, knowing that Mom was feeling the same way seemed to make him feel less alone.
Eventually, their tears began to slow. Baby Monkey rested his head against Mom, listening to her calm breathing. Mom continued gently stroking his fur until his eyes finally became heavy.
The night was still quiet, and their hearts still missed Lala. But in that tender moment, they found comfort in each other.
Sometimes, healing doesn’t mean forgetting someone. It means carrying their memories with love while holding onto the people who are still beside you.
And that night, Mom and Baby Monkey fell asleep together, wrapped in warmth, love, and precious memories of Lala.
