They all give me a drink.C．Angela from BrazilIn all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year’s Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro.

Putting what I saw together,I was sure she was blind.Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help.
