Happy Birthday Tata!

Dear Tata,

No one could say you've had an easy year. Returning to work (before you'd planned) took a toll. Supporting your dear Mami through surgery and recovery tapped reserves of physical and emotional stamina. Leaping into the lunatic fray of non-profit, near-death resuscitation brought rich rewards, also exhaustion. And then, to find yourself also grappling with near-death at home, too... so hard! Through it all, you handled yourself with enormous grace and generosity of spirit. I don't know how you do it, but I'm so glad you do!

I hope this new year brings you new, exciting challenges - but maybe not quite so many!

much love,
xela and pamcita












p.s. tata-kisses are the best!
