Suma, what an absolutely lovely story! I always enjoy these stories of your culture and traditions. I learn so much, and more than that, it's the feeling in your stories. You even manage to turn making tea into something sacred.

Despite the many challenges and family struggles you've endured, you still share beautiful stories of love and togetherness that sound so beautiful. I can only begin to imagine what that must be like. I'm glad you've had those experiences to balance the not-so-happy ones.

Thank you for sharing this, Suma, and for choosing HHH to publish. It's so lovely! 💜💜💜
