Appreciation and grateful POST. I am still on cloud nine from my birthday surprise, and I have to give a proper shoutout to the two people who made it happen, my son Hector Jr. and his beautiful fiancée Seli.
These two planned everything behind my back, which is not an easy thing to do to me, let me tell you. They pulled off a gathering that had me completely speechless. Seli took care of every single guest like it was second nature to her, making sure everyone felt welcomed, fed, and loved. Watching her move through that room with so much warmth reminded me all over again why I am so grateful she is part of my family. She is truly a gem.
And my Hector Jr., always thinking of his mama. Thank you for loving me the way you do and for choosing a partner who loves this family just as hard.
To have the two of you pour that much love and effort into celebrating me is something I will never forget. I felt so celebrated, so seen, so loved. This is what family is supposed to feel like.
I love you both more than words. Thank you for the best birthday memory.
