While in Mexico last week, there were moments when I found myself marveling that I was there because of a seemingly small and simple decision that I made about 7 years ago - the decision to try to teach two young Mexican women, Ana and Juana, how to sew.
On this blog, I mostly talk about Ana - because, through the years, she and I grew very close - and I have been down to visit her in Mexico several times.
On this trip, for the first time, I got to see Juana too!
Before I show you those pictures, here are some shots from 2008, when we first met:

And below is their son, Alex, who was born while they were still in the United States.
Now, from last week, here is Juana in her small house in Mexico:
And here is Abel, with Alex, their now three-year-old son:
I never notice how quickly time is passing, until I see how much a child has grown...
