MILK TOOTH & DAMIAN

Damian met his wife at 19, they were married a few years later and in the same year their daughter Zeyna was born. There were the usual excitements, heightened by this being their only child, of her first steps, her first words and the loss of her first milk tooth. Zeyna was very deliberate, even at aged four, in giving the tooth to her father. This was for him and no-one else was to have it. The marriage had faltered and a year later it ended. Zeyna is 11 now, Damian only sees her once a week but her tooth is always with him, hanging from the rear view mirror of his cab.
