Dayanita in August of 2005

Dayanita is quite a wonderful cousin. She is the same age as Christian and she is very sweet and kind. Dayanita is an extremely talented artist as is her father, Uncle Laurin. She is very good with the littler children and she is always patient with her little brother, Laurincito. Sadly, her 27 year old parrot died a few days ago. That was very sad for her because I think that she has had him all of her life. But she did get a new cat recently and I’m sure that she is having fun with him. I hope to see my cousin soon, I haven’s seen Dayanita in more than a year and I’m sure that she has grown a lot! Her eleventh birthday was about a month or two ago and I wish I could have been there to see her. They sent us pictures though. She had a cake, presents, and a piñata. Now that’s one thing that we usually don’t have here. A piñata. Isn’t that sad? I’m afraid I’ll have to go down to Mexico to visit my cousins if I am to play with one (a piñata). Yes, Dayanita is a wonderful cousin and friend. I hope that I will be able to see her soon!
