On March 3rd, 2011, our family welcomed the first Tapia great-grand-daughter, my parents’ first grandchild, my brother’s first daughter, my sister’s and my first niece. My mom and I heard her cry and stepped into the room, tears of joy ran down our face. Our beautiful baby had finally arrived. “She’s perfect” the nurse said while holding her and feeling her tiny back. “We find beauty in something done well,” perfection and beauty can be painted as well as drawn and on this day it was born so can it be said art was delivered? And if the delivery was a success can it be said the art of birth?
Two beautiful, funny and smart people met at Columbia University. She used this to give their first-daughter rides. There is a beautiful love story in everyone’s youth beyond wheels.
