Qurator's Photo Quest | Lace

I never thought that Ria would make my dream come true. I was an ugly duckling before, I just realized that I'm beautiful after I had my son that looks like me. He has small eyes and a pointed nose. My husband's relative said that he looked like a Korean.

Last year when Ria participated in the flowers of May. She wore the same dress that her cousin wore in Manila. They have the money to buy an expensive gown. They were kind enough to lend Ria the gown. I was so excited, nervous, happy and proud that Ria will take part in the special event. Ria's float was not beautiful like the others. But we all work together to make it special.

The highlight was the stunning gown. When I was young I dream of wearing these beautiful dresses. Detailed big shimmering laces that will look more lovely when the light is spotted on it. The soft pink color made it more prettier when worn with it's simple accessories. The dress they choose really stand out the crowd. It's looks very attractive in the first place. Every parent will sure choose the best for their kids.

But after 36 years of existence I was never given a chance. I'm just a normal girl looking at my cousins. They always represent the flowers of May. They already wore different colors of Laces, I admit I was envious of them. But thanks to Ria I felt complete seeing her happy while she sits on the float. Waving her hands because our whole barrio saw how lovely she is. It was a memorable experience for all of us. I hope this year she'll be able to become one of the flowers of May. Ria was beside her brother. I'll more happier if my son Jj was the escort of Ria and I know someday it will.

Im happy that Ria took a selfie for the both of us. These was our only picture in that day.

This is my participation to @qurator photo quest. I'm tagging @hellgirl02 and @jurich60 to join in this wonderful contest.
