Quinceanera 2025

Bye, bye, baby. Hello woman.

Tesala, you made it this far, I hope. The helpless baby that I knew, is no more, I hope.

Now that you are a woman, you have great responsibility and power. I hope you decide to do what is right and good, for the rest of your life.

Learning is important, but learning the right things is paramount. The right things to learn are rarely the things that make life easy. I hope your life wasn’t too easy.

I hope that you have a man in mind. Someone you can grow with and learn from. Vet him. Test him before you marry him, and test him a lot, but not with malice. Once you marry, there is no more testing.
If you don’t have a man, yet, that’s ok. You have some time to find one that is good enough for you.

Make sure that you learn English, too, and learn it extremely well. That’s the little advice I can give you at this juncture in your life.

I mourn for the little girl that wasn’t allowed to know her Father, but that girl no longer exists.
I look forward to meeting the woman that is my Daughter.
