This piece is a peep into a mother's aching heart. The gem stones imbedded in her heart represent her children who are priceless joy and yet... joy is always knit with sorrow. There is no anesthesia for the heart and circumvention is not a possibility, when it comes to parenting either you commit or you don't. Heartache is about the part of ourselves that we try to conceal, but there will usually be someone who sneaks a peek and sees us totally exposed.
