Christmas holidays had just begun, and the little boys( my house overlooks a home for orphans)were really having fun what with all the christmas parties, presents, and games ? life was wonderful, happiness all over their beautiful, innocent faces. Reminded me of a friends child I know, give her the world and yet nothing can bring a smile on her face, happiness is something her parents must know cannot be bought.
Getting back to the little angels, the next day their parent/guardian came to pick them up for their christmas vacation, excitedly packing their little totes jumping around their friends was something I cannot forget.
There was this little child who drew my attention, formalities completed by the parent/authorities, he came skipping, out right onto his sister(I presume) and the boy excitedly showing off his many presents his bag could carry, the two were oblivious that the parent had walked ahead, this little boy was probably telling his sister all his fun he had and the little girl was a picture of concentration.
This little scene touched me deeply, and made me realise how fortunate we are to have our family around us, something we sometimes tend to take for granted.
The family is the backbone of us all. May 2012 be a special year for the fortunate and no so fortunate that somewhere they may find the peace and happiness that only a family can.
