The Star


When she was a kid, her grandmother had taught her the first ballet steps the day her parents were killed in an accident.

Before her grandmother passed away, the old lady promised her that she would be her guardian angel and watch over her & guide her like a bright star.

She filled the void in her life by joining the local ballet and getting fully immersed in dance, rising to be an international dancer, performing worldwide.

On new-moon nights, she often dances on her terrace, beneath the stars, hoping her parents and grandmother will see her...

She dazzles like a star on Earth as the stars in Heaven watch her starry-eyed...
