The Language of Tears

The Language of Tears

Rumi cries often, but I don’t see it as weakness—it’s his way of speaking. I was there when he first entered the world, when he first called me “Papa,” and every tear since has reminded me that sometimes all he needs is a hug, a quiet moment, and the memory of happiness together before the tears fade into a smile.
