It was a week after my graduation. I'm packing my clothes and all of my personal belongings in a travelling bag for getting into a new place and home for my college. I was sitting at that place in my bed without knowing that Mom is getting in, handling a big box. . .

She suddenly hugs me. I was very much surprised! I don't know what to do at that time. A while, she gave me that big box and when I'm about to find out what's inside. . . It is! The jewelry that I've seen, the crystal that I've wanted to be. I'm so glad, never did expect that it planted in her mind. The DIAMOND that I've ever dreamed since I was 4 years old.

Mom explained to me, that connecting diamond in our life situation is just an unexplained tour of life that could be the brilliance of today. Well, looking in her eyes I've seen the gladness. Maybe she doesn't grant me much love, but hearing those precious words from her made my heart full of care.

As time passed, holding and looking directly realizing me that my life is a DIAMOND, that begins and ends with a realization.

Always visiting my Mom's grave and narrating the precious story of life that we shared, with tears in my eyes, and withholding her gift to me.
