Loss for Lifetime

Tanu got dressed up in her favorite frock for her birthday .

With pink flawless  skin, bright eyes, curly hair -she looked like a barbie

At the restaurant, everyone walked by admiring the smile of this cute doll who sat in front of her dad for the American breakfast

Papa-I love you;I miss Mommy, wish she was with us.

Tanu saw her dad's face plain and  blank.

She inched her fingers to  help him adjust his hearing aid, a loss that he had to pay for the rest of his life for working amidst the cacophony of the machinery.
