I am a Survivor!

Was driving to office today and on the main road stopped at a signal. My eyes looked around for nothing and I almost decided to start reading Solo from where I had stopped. And then I noticed this tiny little boy on one side of the main road. I was psyched for a tiny moment and then I saw this woman, just next to him, filling water...phew I felt relieved. Hell no, she started walking, away from him ... I wanted to shout out, your baby... then I wasn't sure since she did not even look back at him. I so wanted to jump out of the car and hold him.. I couldn't help but imagine the worst. Maybe she was the mother and she was abandoning him this very moment. Maybe he didn't have a home. He was almost onto the road, lazily raising his hands, but not really moving much. I couldn't help but wonder in amazement how a small child could stay put on an end of the road without curiosity getting the better of him. And then that woman stopped at the end of the road, gave him a look and watered the newly cemented pavement and headed back.
Magically the song on the radio screamed I am a survivor!
