Daddy literally passed out when he heard the news, “It’s a girl.” He awoke to new emotions, but determined to be a good dad. On November 24th, 2004, Yessenia was born. Her mom finally understood what love at first sight meant as she held for the first time.

Yessenia can be stubborn and hard headed like her father, but kind, sweet and forgiving like her Grandma Sonia. She is the type of kid that will give you the clothes off her back and share her food with anyone in need.

She is beautiful, inside and out. She is an athletic soccer player. One moment she will love to spend time with family and then happily spend time alone in her room.

She is a Quinceañera. 15. She will celebrate with family and her friends that her childhood has ended. Grownup dreams of sports medicine or teaching will soon be the future she pursues. And Mom and Dad will be happy to see her succeed.

A Quinceañera is not just a fancy party for a fifteen year old. It is celebration that a girl is now a young lady. Savannah was a beautiful Quinceañera.

The day began with her Nina helping her get dressed and her best friends teasing her. The beautiful Catholic Church of St. Dennis was where her family and friends came together and gave thanks for Savannah’s childhood ending and prayed for blessings for the next part of her life. Everyone crowded around for after church for a group picture and sang, “Happy Birthday.”

Savannah walked into her reception to the applause of her family and friends. She stood in the middle of the dance floor as pictures of her as child flashed in the background. Her father replaced her flats for heels and then the Silhouette Dance began. Different stages of her life were represented in and then she and her dad came through the curtain and danced. Her waltz was with her brothers.

If a Quinceañera is is celebrating and giving thanks that a young girl is now a young lady. Today was extra special. At 9 months, she was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. The special guest of honor was Dr. Estwick, who had help diagnose Savannah and who had saved her life. He was given special recognition from Savannah’s parents at the toast when they presented him with, “The Physician’s Prayer.” There was not a single dry eye in the house. Savannah changed her outfit and her best friends joined in surprise dance that ended with everyone on the dance floor for a group picture. Balloons fell onto the dance floor and the party began!

We took pictures of Savannah weeks before her Quinceañera. These pictures were used in her guestbook and printed for the party.
