Meanwhile, the sky wept ...
We were together at last. Four of six generations gathered in the same place within the call. Emotions over the faces of family members to know about. Expectation of all those who embrace after decades and would make presentations of their children and grandchildren.
The State of Hidalgo, as a strategic point, we did match them all. A wonderful historic estate, and was opened as well as hosts and organizers were to give us badges and gifts.
few others were being recognized. Many others we would know, feeling on the skin reflects the wonderful time that would have our personal and family history.
in the chapel of the place, around a church, began the first yearnings. Following this, affectionate hugs while the weather favored and the natural scenery and architecture gave us the perfect setting for this magical moment that was filmed as a movie.
had this illusion that did not cost any effort to coordinate the hundreds of people and put us on levels posing for panoramic photography that would form the dream of Mario uncle wanted in life to make possible what could only watch sadly from a very tall, but quite nearby.

To no one of these parents, then unleashing the reflections and memories. And so on one to one showing how the marriage of Joseph and Salma was taking root along with their children that grew as new box appeared on a Lebanese family members giving your life to the Mexican nation that welcomed them after their emigration.
was when no one was spared while tears down her cheeks feel like to experience, the sky began to fall a light rain, smooth, quiet ... All those who have gone before us were becoming present, crying too, but surely much more excited to see us together. Yes, we were there, with similar faces, with characteristic features, perhaps the most details and conflicting lives, but eventually a percentage of common blood running through our veins and thanks to the meeting made us aware of what it means to live in the name and the body the same inheritance and how important it is to strengthen ties remain connected, but above all, valued in life.
After the presentation, the lump in my throat, still wiping the tears began to notice that no more rain and the sun shone bright again. Understood that day between heaven and earth there was no distance, that we are closer than we think. Then continue with the life of the party.
