Arman's graduation from high school is fast approaching. Today, he was getting his graduation cards ready. I was astonished and pleased by his request. He said "Mom, I want to write a special letter to grandma. I will need you to translate it for me since her English is not very good." I said "Sure!" It ended up more like a poem. The following is what he wrote to her. I was truly touched by my sons's words to his very beloved grandmother. I know that many will also feel the same as they read a 17 years old words of love.
I want to thank you
For all the love
For the cookies that tasted
Like they were from up above
I have kept all your letters
Close to my heart
All your words of advice
To help me start
A better life on a better path
For helping me in the past
For loving me even if I was bad
For hugging me when I was sad
I want to say "Thank you!"
Abuelita I love you too.

Ordinary Miracle......

Sarah's song from Charlotte's Web:
It's not that usual when everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when its time to snow
You don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable?
Like every time a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
And always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
Cause we are all a part
Of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sun comes up and shines so bright
It disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Ooohh Oooohh
It's just another ordinary miracle today
