QUEEN OF HEARTS

I was saddened to read the headline story "Little Girl In Racist Attack". It brought tears to my eyes as I felt for little Samara and her mum Rachel. At the same time I felt a degree of sorrow for those who inflicted this slur. These people especially the mother of the two daughters seem unhappy in their skins. It is great for children of all ages to dress up and pretend to be whoever they want to be. I feel that's a part of being happy in your own skin whatever colour that is. Its easy to see Samara is happy with both as is her mum. Samara dressed as Queen Elsa  and to me she also replicates a much higher Queen, the Queen of Queen's in Heaven. She does understand what has happened to Samara and Rachel. I am sure the community of Ballarat and communities everywhere that have been touched by this story would join with me in saying to Samara; “Be proud of who you are and whoever you want to be. It’s easy to see you are the queen of mums heart. Your story makes you the queen of many other hearts. You have much to be proud of.
