Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We got married at 19, I had her at 20 and she's 22. It does feel a little strange to still have little ones at home and have a grandbaby on the way. I'm still praying for another miracle baby for us. Wouldn't that be great?
