My whole life I have dreamt of having a big family with Aunts and
Uncles and Cousins. I used to fall
asleep creating scenarios where my cousins and I would get into mischief
together or we’d sleep over at their house and I’d hear stories about my Dad
when he was little or about my Grandma and Grandpa. In every situation there was love and
laughter and fun. Never in my
imagination did I feel as much love nor as welcome as I felt in real life these
last two months.
They may not speak Spanish, but their Mexican heritage runs strong in
their character. They were as open and
inviting as any Latina I have ever met.
I cannot sing their praises enough.
It is almost physically painful leaving them there. I want more time. More interaction. I want more late night talks to hear more of
their past but mostly just to be with them. As I'm looking through my pics trying to decide which to put here, I cannot decide. They're all so beautiful.
My life is better because I have gotten to know them. I have been blessed indeed.
