Ria

My niece's name is Ria,  spelled that way instead of the Indian Riyah.  BTW, Thank you for adding my story to Love a Borgia to your reading list.  It's one of the first stories I posted on here and it makes me feel good that people are still reading it!

          Sometimes what you want to hear is not "why are you crying? Don't cry please." But it is "it's okay, let it out. I'm here and I understand you." 
          Isn't a small smile and a nod of understanding better than few words of sympathy and judgmental comparison? If so, let me be the one who says "I'm here and I understand you." When you're crying and at your worst. If I can help you in any way, I'm glad.
