Hello friends of the
community, today for the first time, I join this community, which this week has proposed a very interesting and at the same time melancholic theme. Because the truth is that no matter how many plans we make for that night, something always happens in the future that can change everything, it also makes us remember extraordinary, unique and magical moments in family and personally.
The picture was taken in November 1992, that's how I was back then, by the way, I loved red lipsticks (laughs) back then.
I remember that year in particular, Christmas was very emotional, we had the opportunity to be all together in my family, I remember my dad wore a Santa Claus costume on Christmas Eve. On New Year's Eve, we did a gift exchange (the largest I have ever participated in), we were more than 50 people, including uncles, cousins, husbands and wives. That New Year's Eve, my grandfather, who was 80 years old by then, dressed up in his 40 years old suit (laughs) that night all of us grandchildren laughed and had a lot of fun with him, it was crazy because the following year he was no longer with us. The best part of my maternal family's New Year's Eve was sitting at the table to have dinner (it was a custom to do it that day) and then gather in the patio to wait for the cannon fire.
Thirty years have passed and many things have happened, today I have my family and we usually do the same, but now in this time of pandemic, we are limited to travel, so my plans are; to be with my husband and children at home, healthy and enjoying all the blessings that God has given us. Now we are healthy and that is more than enough to celebrate and be thankful for life.
The photograph is recent from November 1st, my birthday, now technology allows us to save and treasure the happy moments in family, I wish we could have had the privilege of taking pictures in 1992, I think I would be laughing nonstop now. I hope everyone has a beautiful New Year's Eve. I wish you all peace and happiness.
