On Sunday morning, we had breakfast with “our kids,” those that we met 7-8 years ago at the Boys and Girls Clubs. We met at First Watch, and ate on the heated outdoor patio. Tatiana moved to Dallas this year and Alex and Gabi live in Phoenix, so we missed the three of them. David, Alan, Meybelyn and Daniel, and Karla and Sierah joined us, all vaccinated!
Karla and her Mom made a big batch of tamales for us. They were in a festive container, so they went in the center of the table. As we ordered and everyone was talking, Karla quietly passed around a card, that everyone wrote in. We opened the card and were struck by how beautifully written each message was, from their hearts.
We love “our kids” more and more year after year. We are proud of each of them. We are blessed to have them in our lives.
