just❤

Grandmother pressed the worn poetry book into my hands, Avvaiyar's verses dancing across yellowed pages. I'd drifted far from Tamil roots, chasing hollow validation scrolling through screens. That evening, I translated one couplet for my daughter. Her eyes widened with recognition. The next morning, she recited it at school. Her teacher called, amazed. Suddenly, I understood. These weren't just words; they were bridges spanning continents and generations. Love, expressed through language, carrying wisdom across time. My phone buzzed with her proud message: "just❤" In that moment, I felt the sacred reward of heritage rekindled, our family's story beautifully continuing.
