"THANKSGIVING"
There are so many things to give thanks, but to me these are the most important:
1. I thank God for my health, without health we can not do anything, is the most important but sometimes we not care a lot.
2. I thank God for my family. I have a wonderful husband has taught me to be with me through thick and thin, I have a special children so far are good; do not take liquor and are calm and even have their friends have been able to pick them. I have my parents living with their normal conditions but are strong. My father is the one that supports me in everything too.3. I give thanks for life, for each day, for be able to live fully and enjoy what I have so far. I can not ask for more.

"Family & Friends"
The Promise of my Mom to the Three Kings
Since 2006 my mom has been holding a promise to the Three Kings in gratitude for having survived two heart attacks and an open heart surgery. At the time that led to operating room she promised to sing to the Three Kings, nine carols(aguinaldos) and three to the Virgin Monserrate if interceded for her that everything would go well and fulfill this promise as she lived. Thank God the operation was a sucess. The promises to the saints are religious traditions and my family is very Catholic. This year the event took place on January 9 and family came from Florida and New York. A really nice surprise I got was when my aunt Santia (my father's sister) arrived, who I had not seen for twenty years. My mom had invited her without saying anything so you can imagine what was my reaction. Another emotional moment was when they sang it for the health of my cousin Judy. She was one that came from Florida; she's my age and unfortunately has cancer. We could not help mourn. I really do share some pretty good moments and it was a promise I will never forget.
