The Story of the Sun and the Candle
Sarah used to live in a house filled with laughter, but it fell silent after her son, Arie, passed away at just seven years old. Arie loved to draw the sun, often telling his mother, "The sun is bright because it loves us." After he was gone, the sunlight seemed too harsh for Sarah, who spent her days in darkness, clinging to a small candle from Arie's last birthday.

Years passed, and Sarah kept her curtains drawn until a neighbor's eight-year-old girl, Nyla, began visiting her. Nyla, noticing Sarah's sadness, began bringing flowers and stories. One evening, Nyla suggested they light the old candle, telling Sarah, "The sun is bright because it loves us," repeating the exact words Arie used to say.
