So this is a picture of a picture, I hope that isn't cheating... but when I decided to begin this crazy blog I didn't know that today would signify such an important day in the lives of the Verdaguer family. Today, Alex's maternal grandmother, Lela passed away. Lela was very ill for quite a while, so her death could be viewed as a blessing, however, that doesn't always take the sting away. I met Lela back when Alex's grandparents and great aunt & uncle visited a few summers ago. With the limited amount of Spanish I know, I didn't get to have many conversations w/ her, however whenever she grabbed my face and gave me kisses on the cheek, I felt her compassion. This picture was taken at Alex's sister's (Macarena & Matt's) wedding. I think it's an amazing photo of pure love and happiness & makes me smile every time I look at it. (Thank you to Maca who gave Alex this photo and frame.)
