To my mother.

“We lost our dear Grandma Silva before she had a chance to meet little Arianna. Grandma Silva loved my son and knew that one day the prophecy of us having a daughter would come true. This Christmas, after such a difficult year where we have seen loved ones lost to new crowns, we want this Christmas to be remembered for something positive. This is the perfect opportunity to make this a wonderful Christmas for my mother-in-law and it will be her most memorable Christmas to date. The painting is of her mother, Cruz, holding our three children, Jeremiah, Jacob and Arianna. We never met Arianna, but getting to see her being held by her great-grandmother Cruz was something we all dreamed about and talked about. We talked about how much she would love little Ellie and how happy she would be to have another great-granddaughter.”
