You.

Your question-if you can find the right words-
you can.
They are there.

I told you that I thought you needed to see them on your time-time for just you and them-before others came in and let their grief dictate your connection.
I know it was hard, but I'm so glad you did, because now you know unequivocally
how tremendous the impact of your connection to their daughter was in their eyes.

Dulce may have started her life without family, in the traditional sense-
G-d found Jerri and Hassan for her...her name, remember the story Jerri told us about her name-
Chris, there were no coincidences in her life...
G-d had a plan-an amazing plan for her life.

They came to Hunters Woods, hopeful.
There were no guarantees, just hope.
What they found was family.

Jerri and Hassan created her family-they found her family-they were guided into a community that embraced Dulce's challenges and helped them conquer what Doctors said
could
not
be
done.

Remember when we asked Jerri is we could take Dulce on the Amazing Race-we knew we'd be the winning team, hands down! We laughed and joked about the play fighting and funny bed head hairdos we'd have-it was a hysterical notion, that made us all smile.

What we didn't know then, that I understand now, is that we were already on that Race. Dulce picked us to be her teammates, and we ran with it.
We ran with her.

Her life was amazing.

She was amazing.
She was playful.
She was kind.
She was naughty and mischievous.
She was dilligent and tenacious.
She learned.
She loved.
She lived.
She lived the Amazing Race.

How lucky were we-we got to run with her-
Maybe what we take from the sadness, is joy,
we take that joyful motion of Dulce-
that forward pressing motion that filled Dulce everyday,
we take it and press on, just as she would want us to.

I've said that I believe she was a messenger.
Like those before her, she has left us here to continue sharing her voice with others.

We become the messengers that make the change we want to see in the world happen-
We make that change happen for all other children,
because we know Dulce would want us to,
because we know that Dulce would have made it happen in spite of us all-

She got you into a dress, afterall...

You can do this.
You ARE the person to do this.
You have the words, YOU HAVE THE VOICE, and if you need help I'm here.

BIG hugs Robin...send out a bat signal if you need to, but know that the bat mobile is ready!
