This week was deepavali, festival of lights, my
daughter was very eager to burst some crackers, so she wanted me to go out with
her to buy some crackers, and very selectively she choose what she wanted, invited
her cousins and enjoyed burning the crackers along with them. While I watched
her having fun, I was missing Emmanuel my son, who was alive last year, and was
with his sister enjoying himself. I comforted myself, and joined my daughter,
for I know I am happy with memorable moments of my son, I chose to be with my daughter
for her to have special memories of her mom. I am inspired by this quote:
“Each second we live is a new and unique
moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach
our children? We teach them that two and two make four and that Paris is the
capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they
are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel.
You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another
child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.
You may become a Shakespeare, a
Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a
marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a
marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its
children. “ Pablo Casals
Happy Deepavali & Enjoy this moment!
