Family Genes

Old madam sat still by the dining table holding a prayer bead close to her heart and a photo album. She sighed continuously and started rocking as she muttered some prayers.

When she opened her eyes it was all red and teary, she looked at the photo album of the beautiful family of three she held close.

There were two young couple and a little boy in their middle, the man apparently was trying to force a smile out of his overly stiff face. But the woman smiled very easily and gazed at her little family with love.

And little Luca in the photo was just 3 years old and was looking at his father's face with a frown. One couldn't guess what a three year old was thinking so seriously while concentrating on his father's stiff face.

The photo looked a little awkward but one could tell they were happy, it was a small but harmonious family. Luca no doubt took after his father in every way except for his eyes.
