CONGRATULATIONS, ALEX!
(MY AWESOME NIECE)
LEE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2012
12 YEARS +...YOU MADE IT!
WE ARE ALL SO VERY PROUD OF YOU!
Alex and I have a lot in common...for one we are the so-called "babies"
within our respective family units.
While I am the youngest of 6 children in my unit,
Alex just so happens to be the only child in hers.
The reason I bring this up is to highlight the fact that
Alex was also the baby within Mama's grandchildren;
the last grandchild born into the family of Rudolfo and Eva Dominguez;
a truly significant fact.
It's so surreal that Mama will not be here today to celebrate this most
auspicious and blissful occasions as she had long awaited to do so for so many years.
There will be several "first time" occasions "without Mama" to come
but I wish to keep things in perspective for today because today
is about my dear niece Alex and her alone.
Though 'grandma' won't be here in the physical sense today as she
had wanted to be to see Alex graduate, she will be with us in spirit...
in our hearts and in our thoughts as she always is!!!
