LETTER FROM DAD Hola mija, it’s really hard for me to express a feeling that is this big in writing but here it goes. When your mom and I decided to make a life together is was a little difficult to take in that she probably wasn’t going to be able to have children because of the accident she had when she was a little girl. God is enormous though and he is the only one who has the last word.

On December 31st of 2003 my world changed; I received the news that I was going to be a father. The smile on my face was so noticeable that I could not hide my happiness. An angel sent from heaven was on its way to us. I was so excited. On June 30th, 2004 we found ourselves waiting on you.

The whole family was at the hospital waiting on my little girl. I remained

strong for your arrival. Next day you were ready to be born. As I found myself trying to keep your mom calm and support her through giving birth to you, I got weak (sorry I couldn’t make it through the labor I almost fainted myself lol don’t laugh at me). The love that I feel for you is humongous that I can tell you without hesitation that I love you more than I love myself. I apologize if I haven’t been the best father to you, but I promise I am trying and will continue trying to the end of my days. You are growing up on us so fast that sometimes I want to breakdown and cry because my little girl is becoming a young woman and will soon would have to face the world without much of our help. Your amazing to me in everyway and just know that your dad will always always have your back.

LETTER FROM MOM OMG!!! OK Atalia breathe, you got this! Don’t I always say I Love You though? lol Lord how do I express my feelings? How do start without crying? Ok so here goes nothing…. My beautiful girl, first I want to take a moment and thank God for giving me and molding a beautiful, humble, intelligent, and just wonderful daughter. I feel the luckiest in the world, to me you are just perfect. I know I haven’t been the best mother and I might have failed you in many ways but always know you are my baby and I will always love you. When I found out I was pregnant of you I didn’t know where to run, I said to myself, wait a minute, I thought I couldn’t have kids? lol. I swear I felt all kinds of emotions. Like I had conquered the world or something. I couldn’t believe it. When you were born, I knew this was it, I was

in it for the long run. I had a little human being I could call my own, someone I would give up my life for, someone I could love more than I could love myself.

I remember holding you as a baby and just sit there and stare at you, still not believing I had a daughter.

You were a dream come true. I used to turn on the TV and sit you down in the couch and you would just sit there watching it like you knew what was going on. I remember coming home from work and you would run to me with your arms wide open (I’m already crying FYI) lol screaming “mommy” like if you hadn’t seen me for days. You are all grown up now my sweet baby, the big 15!!! Know that your dad I did our best and we hope everything comes out great and you enjoy this day. Happy Birthday Mi Nina Hermosa!!!

IN MEMORIAM

JOSE RUIZ 3/29/1953 – 01/18/2001 My story could not have been told without the loving kindness of so many amazing people. Unfortunately, some of those cherished souls are not here with us today. Even though I was not given the opportunity to meet my Grandpa on my Daddy’s side, I want to take this opportunity to remember him because I know he touched my family’s lives so profoundly.

THANK YOU Good Evening everyone. I’m so happy right now. Ok so I’m talking like it’s the day of, lol don’t blame me. First of all, I want to thank the man above for allowing my parents to make this day happen for me. Thank each and every one of you for being a part of my Quinceanera. This day wouldn’t have been possible without you all. Hopefully you are enjoying it as much as I am. Lol again weird because I’m speaking like is the day off, can’t stop laughing. If I made a mistake on my writing forgive me lol specially on the Spanish parts. I’m not an expert on writing Spanish so blame Google Translate.
