Esther is fifteen, and her parents threw her a quinceanera that she’ll remember forever. This girl has it all. She’s beautiful, she’s sweet, she knows who she is, and she must be the kindest young woman at her school. I’ll get into how I know that in a bit. When we first got to Esther’s...

A true testament to this beautiful young lady came from her friends. Each one had a story about feeling alone and maybe different until Ester stood up and insisted they sit with her. We all know that first day feeling. They called her the mom of the group because she always makes sure everyone is good and that they are happy. She is an incredible person and I always tell Sarah that I want an Ester?❤️?
How beautiful! What a special day for this young lady! And the expressions of love and pride on her parents’ faces literally made me cry!
Amazing work you! Congrats!
