I think perhaps it would be safe to assume that the adults of the gypsy community were once children and possibly "radiant" as well. I think compassion should be so plentiful that is can be extended to all.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for sharing your gift in the most unexpected package!(:-)
There is so much beauty to be seen, if only we would be more aware. I tend much too often to see the negative instead of turning all negatives into positives.
I wish everyone the eyes to see!

She deserves a proper home to live at and a `normal' life to lead. Any way you did your best at the short time you had with her even though you could have done much better.

This just goes to show that true happiness is not made by monetary wealth or material posessions. Thank you Swirly for a wonderful story.

You have noticed it and you found it. normally people look at them with the same eyes - the eyes filled with sympathy. They doesnt need sympathy but they need a helping hand. Each one of us is liable for that.
Al Schweitzer wrote: The Gypsies are a people who, because of the turmoil of wars and anarchy, migrated into Asia Minor and thence to Europe from Northern India over a 1000 years ago. Because many of them still look "Indian" over 2 million Gypsies were cooked by Hitler in the same ovens in which he dispatched 6 million Jews. While Germany has paid close to $60B in reparations to Israel for the harm it did to the Jews, it has no paid a plugged nickel to the Gypsy survivors of its killing camps. A great act of Charity would be for a bunch of lawyers to take a cause of the Gypsies and sue Germany for reparations for the Gypsies. Any takers?
