I was laying next to my daughter and her lil hands were touching mine. She looks up at me and smiles giving me her angelic look. "mommy why you hands white..why you not brown like me?" She asked...
I explained to her that I had two parents that were white and she had two different skin tone parents.....me-white and her dad-black = Mj's pretty skin tone.
I could see she was still discombobulated.....
So I told her...what color r the stars, moon, sky n the sun? She giggles and says: The moon is white, the sun is lello, sky is black at night and the stars are shiny like my diamond earrings...i told see they are all family but different shades, and they are all beautiful, by day or night rite?
She nods her head repeatedly and says: yeah, you are the moons shade, and I am your shiny diamond star cuz when you look at me..your eyes are all shiny cuz I make them sparkle.....I felt my eyes fill with happy tears...
My daughter felt something from me that my own bio parents never ever felt for me....She knows love and I gave her that all by myself...that was the most wonderful gift i've ever had in my life!
Yes MJ..you are mommy's diamond star...and you make my eyes sparkle! I love my daughter with all my heart!
