I got real life goosebumps reading (and listening) this, Andrea. What a wonderful woman, and a beautiful family. And that's even before the gorgeous music. I'm so happy you have such a warm and talented familia política. I bet it was a great party too! ❤️
Thanks for your comment, Jayne. It was a great party.
There was another the following night at Cilia’s apartment. Most of the guests played one or more instruments and all sang. The range of songs from Latin America knocked my socks off. Everyone, including me, enjoyed themselves immensely. Guests arrived at 18:00 and didn’t leave until 00:45. That was only after I started taking glasses and dishes to the kitchen 😂.
This is such a lovely tribute to an amazing lady! And I can see Fabio’s face in hers. Thanks for this article and including the video and music. Delightful!
Thank you for your comment, Joan. We are fortunate indeed. Knowing your musical talents, you would have enjoyed the festivities and seeing everyone so happy and involved.
Thank you, Marjie, for your very nice comments. I feel reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally lucky to be a member of the family. And I don't even have any musical abilities.
Gracias Andrea! Felicitaciones a Cilia por su cumpleaños y su genial habilidad musical, a Fabio por orquestrar la fabulosa celebración para honrar a su linda mamá, y a tí, Andrea querida, por hacer esta fiel radiografía! Yo me sentí, allá, en esa hermosa fiesta... y me gocé tu escrito, de comienzo a fin.
Qué talento poder componer canciones, de diferentes géneros... y además, cantarlas...!!!
Gracias por hacernos partícipes de esta ocasión, por las lindas fotos y por el cálido sentimiento!
Sonia querida, mil gracias por tus comentarios lindos y entusiastas. Me alegro que te gustara este relato de la fiesta. Si, el evento fue espectacular y mi suegra es una maravilla. Su circulo de familia, amigos y músicos tienen mucha suerte estar en su presencia.
Cilia is so impressive! Wow, what a nice essay, Margo
Thank you, Margo. She is! A beautiful person inside and out.
I appreciate your reading this and commenting.
So touching 🥲
Nice to cry over beautiful things once in a while 😊
Agree ❤️

A party to celebrate the party, love that 😅. I'm sure if you hadn't started tidying up it would have spilled into a third day/party 😅.

Thank you, Ashley. It was a wonderful celebration. I'm so lucky to have been there.
Love this so much! I too would have had to hold back the tears. How lucky we are to have such amazing families!

Lovely in so many ways! I would have cried, too.
Thank you, Tim. Knowing something of the importance of music in your family, I'm sure you can related to how meaningful this was.
