Eunice's Story

Today, Eunice shared this photo with me.

At first, I thought she was simply sharing a special moment from her daughter's school. So I asked her about it.

She told me it was Prayer Day for her daughter, who is in her final year of high school.

Then she shared something I wasn't expecting.

This was only the second school event she has attended in the last four years. The first was when she took her daughter for admission.

I asked her what made yesterday different. She smiled and said,

"For the first time, I went to the school without borrowing money for transport."

Then she added something else.

"This is also the first year my daughter has come home for every school break."

I looked at the photo again.

What I first saw as a school event was, for Eunice, something much bigger. It was the joy of being able to show up.
