Sunday Citar ~ With Breath, Smiles and Tears

"Citar" is Spanish for "to quote," and today, we're celebrating both words and visuals that resonate deeply with us.

Looking back, it feels like just yesterday that I first held my little one in my arms. It's hard to believe it's already been a year since that magical moment. In that short time, he's brought so much joy, laughter, and even some unexpected challenges. But every single day, he continues to teach me patience, love, and gratitude. And then there’s his big sister, who remains the heart and soul of our family. Together, they’ve shaped my life in ways I never thought possible.

“I love thee to the level of everyday’s most quiet need, by sun and candlelight… I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life.”
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning

One evening, as I leaned down to give my son a goodnight kiss, something truly touching happened. He reached up and gently took hold of my face, holding it tenderly between his tiny hands. For a moment, neither of us moved—it was pure connection, pure love.
