I feel like I’m a part of something fantastic and
much bigger than I am: a beautiful family,
numerous and loud, which will always be there for
me.
And Lily will grow around people who love her
and will accompany her in all the phases of her
life.
Lily will grow with all of her family around her,
and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

This morning Erin was a bit nervous but as soon as
we got to the university she showed her confidence
as well as her breathtaking beauty. The
commission couldn’t give her anything less than
maximum grades.
Sitting at the bottom of the stairs are my family.
I made them sit in the back to avoid them creating
an embarrassing scene for her. They even brought
a banner and Mom prepared a little party at home
because she says she wants everyone in the
neighborhood to know someone in her family is
graduating. I think that by now she had lost all
hope. I wasn’t offended and neither was anyone
else, because by now Erin is part of the family and
everyone supports her and loves her just like they
really provide for my little Lily, who is here
behaving very well in my baby backpack.
I talk to her often and sing to her too. I want her
to know who I am and that she’s able to recognize
my voice even with one syllable.
