Up and Coming Bands

This post is dedicated to my little brother Michael and my Abuelita. Michael is 12 and is doing something my brother Andrew always dreamed of. He started his own band made up of his friends from church. Their band had their first gig this week performing for a fundraiser to fight cancer. My abuelita (maternal grandmother) died recently from pancreatic cancer. It happened suddenly and while we miss her terribly (especially when I need a good recipe for tamales or am making pozole) I am grateful for the knowledge that she continues to serve the Master and that we are an eternal family. I will be reunited with her again. We are grateful for all that supported the fundraiser. And thank you Michael, not only do you constantly remind me to be a better person and to draw nearer my Savior, but you are also using your talents to make a difference in the world around you. I love you.

so that's like the coolest thing I've ever heard! I think it's awesome that Michael's doing that. I didn't know about your Abuelita. When did that happen? I feel very out of it! How's Abuelito doing?
