Hello Laura,
Congratulations! I would love to win, but in this case it is especially true that winning is not the object of my comment. I want to tell you that I truly appreciate your blog and read it faithfully every day. It is obvious that everything you write about is from your heart.

Thank you for sharing your life with us! God bless you! And know that your mother is in my prayers. .................. Ana María

Sincerely,
