My Special Person
The Special People in My Life
By Xochil Mendoza
By Marilu Carillo
I have a special person in my
life, who was and is with me. She
worked for my sisters, my brothers,
and me when we were children. She
is my life. I help her with money. I
miss her because she is in my country. I call her every week. Her name
is Juanita, she is with my two nephews, and my brother in El Salvador. I
hope one day to stay with her again.
She is my mom.

The holiday season is about bringing
together the special people in our lives
who make everything wonderful. My family is the reason for the daily smile on my
face. To start, I have a wonderful
mother who brought me to this world and
into a house full of love. She raised me
with tender care until I met the love of
my life. I have a marvelous husband who
is very respectful, very loving, and is,
quite frankly, the best husband in the
whole world. He has given me the best
gift I could ever wish for: a beautiful
baby boy, Ethan, who brings joy to my
life each and every day. His smile lights
up my heart and his eyes kiss my soul.
