Maria,
You taught Elijah how to be a child and play. I remember the first thing you taught him was how to grab his toys. I don’t think Elijah knew he could grab anything. This awakened his little spirit and excited him. Now I can’t get him to stop grabbing and he’s fast and good at it too. Elijah did not communicate or play before you came. You taught him to have fun and love life. You taught him curiosity and how to voice his opinions. Now Elijah smiles, laughs and babbles. He watches his sisters play and run and is motivated to do the same. I will miss you coming every week. I will miss the look on Elijah’s face when I tell him “Maria’s coming today”. I will miss your advice and wisdom. You’ve taught me so much and Elijah now has a more confident mommy because of you. Believe me when I say you were heaven sent. I prayed and prayed for my son and God sent you and a whole lot of angels from UCP. Aggressive and stern you are but a sweet and nurturing soul the perfect combo for Elijah. You will be missed but never forgotten. Each hurdle Elijah overcomes will be because you gave him a great start.
Thank you. Love Corina Estrada
