When I was younger, I dreamed of having my own baby. It could be because they look adorable or I thought they might bring me smiles and become the sunshine of my life.
In downtown Brooklyn, I am living with the Chinese family who has two little girls. One of them, Stephany, has her father's soft face feature, and the other, Melony... maybe from her grandmother. Their innocent-looking eyes and beautiful smooth skin always amaze me. I feel like I just discovered the mother nature in them. Everything they own seem pure.
Maybe three times a week, I come back home feeling tired and disappointed with my performance at work, and when I open my apartment door,these two angels run to me. They want me to look at the pictures that they made at school, while giving me some explanation in Chinese, which I fail to understand at times. All I can say is how much Stephany and her sister are helping me to keep my spirit up and give me comfort.
I am sure that raising children is difficult in terms of their financial situation and if the parents work, the time to spend with their kids. However, I believe that their children worth all of their parents' hard works and sacrifices
