This morning we had one of those moments when the world stops for a moment and your heart feels like it froze. Just for a moment. Froze.

As I was making Kajal's lunch this morning and she was watching a little Disney before school she said, Mommy, I saw India this morning.
You did?
Yes, I watched the news. You know, the man talking that you like to watch who talks about things that are real, not fiction.
And what did he say?
He showed India. There were pictures of the castle (the Taj) and lots of children. They did the powder mark (the ceremony where they put powder dotted between the eyes)

And what else did you see, Kajal?

The children were hungry Mommy, really hungry. I think they took some to the hospital.

How did that make you feel baby?

I changed the channel Mommy. News isn't fun.

Kajal do you think about being hungry?

No (not very convincingly)

Do you know that Mommy will always make sure you have food?

Yes.

Do you know that Mommy will never let you go hungry?

Yes.

Are you sure?

yes...

And she throws herself into my arms and hugs me like you can't imagine.
