Felicidades!! Para ti, mi querido David y para toda tu familia. Los niños están lindos y muy grandes. Lilah ya esta dejando a paso agigantado su estado de niña. Me emociona verlos a todos juntos y el paso del tiempo, es el significado de recordar….”volver a pasar por el Alma”. Gracias por compartir.
