Little Tiffany once presented me with a picture she had drawn of me. Sadly, the drawing itself has long since been lost. Upon studying the picture closely, I noticed what looked like lots of hairs sticking straight out all around my entire face! Always having been self-conscious of facial hair, however light in color, I was a bit disconcerted that it should be so obvious as to be included in such a young child's depiction of me. I finally pointed to the hairs on the paper and asked Tiffany to explain.
I have kept what she said next in my heart ever since, where I will treasure it forever. Smiling lovingly and proudly, the sweetest little girl in the world said this to me:
It's YOU as the SUN.
Simply beautiful. Love you both. -Mhanda
