There are diamond shape like teardrops as there are tears as precious as diamonds. The elation a child brings to her mother is as sparkling and brilliant. I sometimes get amazed how a seemingly trivial matter, is not. Sunny’s first ballet performance, how many times had she missed the steps, got so mixed-up she was merely copying the other girls’ feet’s direction, yet the mere joy of a beautiful sight, my little baby, now with the make-up that made me look for her when she was just in front of my very eyes is unbelievable. Crying after the show as if she had her first solo act as a prima ballerina, I cannot explain why, the bliss was simply there…as in the everyday that I spend with them, watching them play, laugh, cry, pray, fight, talk, grow…beholding their very being, 40 carat!
