I can picture Amanda, Griff, Charlie and Alex meeting your Ecua family on Christmas eve and can imagine how both families must have so wanted to speak to one another, to share beyond the superficial. Your language proficiency was the conduit to this sharing. Your fluency and understanding brought both your families together. No Christmas present could have been more meaningful! You have every right to be proud of yourself. I am proud of you. With love, Mamore
