The year 2020 for us as a family was ambivalent between joy and sadness, we lost one of our loved ones, because his heart did not resist and despite being a doctor at the time he was alone, unfortunately we had to say goodbye to him, although for us he will always be that special person who left a deep mark in our hearts because he was a very kind, caring and familiar being. He was the father of my oldest nephew, my sister died 13 years ago, and he had been with us as part of the family taking care of our nieces and nephews, the oldest who is now 25 years old, and another boy who follows him.
It was also in 2020 that my niece became pregnant, she had to get up the courage to say goodbye to her father, and with everyone's support we prepared to receive the baby's blessing.
Soon we found out that it was a boy, the excitement was not long in coming, that little belly growing day by day filled us with joy, and by the month of October little Juan Pablo came into our lives.
Babies come into our families to remind us that miracles exist and that happiness can be seen in the little eyes of a child. They come to be spoiled by their grandparents, their aunts and uncles, and if they have siblings, their brothers and sisters.
In the case of Juan Pablo is a blessing for his great-grandparents my parents are excited every day to see him grow, when the baby is with us my parents are filled with joy, they are full of attention and pride and it is nice to share as a family.
Although we have had some complicated moments, the arrival of Juan Pablo to my family has brought joy, and it is nice to see them grow step by step.
He has been breastfed, almost exclusively, and now he is getting to know baby food, cereals and fruits. For us, every picture shared, every video and every smile of the baby is an event.
As Silvia Daniela's aunt, Juan Pablo's mom, I feel very proud of her, I think that moms simply wait for the birth of their baby to discover that we are ready for everything.
It is very nice to see her taking care of the baby's feeding. It is very nice to see her taking care of the baby's feeding, taking care of his little things, and even supervising any detail. For me, Silvia Daniela had always been a little girl, but now I see her as a real mom, and that fills me with pride.
The baby's father is also an industrious young man, he has become part of our family and for me he is also a nephew, Pedro, he is a blessing, he takes care of my niece and the baby with great care, I think that dads like that are not so easy to find, I am thankful that he is my niece's husband.
Juan Pablo for us is the joy, the bond that will keep us united with our loved ones, and also a projection of our children, a heritage that transcends in his smile and his little eyes.
I believe that everyone who decides to become parents should know that it is a huge responsibility, as big as the joy they bring to our family, so it should be a family decision full of hope and love.
I really admire today's moms who not only face raising their baby, they also face raising the baby living a worldwide pandemic, this is something we must consider, that is why we must give a lot of support to those parents, and tell them that we will always be there for them.
Humanity is beautiful, babies are the blessing of families.
It remains for us to spoil them and love them every day and teach them to pray that God will always give them his blessing.

Luisa was sure she was already following you. Unfortunately that's life. I lost two family members to this pandemic. I am happy for your family and that your niece brought that precious baby into the world. May God shower you with blessings and above all with lots of health.
